A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering two bedrooms and straightforward rental appeal in a central Ipswich location. Positioned close to the mainline station and local amenities, the house suits investors seeking an income-producing asset with easy tenant placement.
The property is freehold, double glazed, and has mains gas heating. The vendor reports a recently installed boiler (April 2025) with a valid warranty; verification is available on request. The small rear garden and practical layout make maintenance simple for a buy-to-let operation.
There are some clear renovation and management considerations: the building is solid-brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation, damp patches noted, and areas that need modernization. The immediate neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with high local crime levels, which affects lettings, rents and resale prospects.
For a cash buyer or a landlord prepared to carry minor repairs and improvement works, this house represents a low-footprint investment with good transport links and nearby schools. Buyers should budget for fabric repairs, potential insulation works, and ongoing management in a higher-crime urban area.
