Summary - 8, EGGLESTONE CLOSE, IPSWICH IP2 9SR
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Quiet cul-de-sac location with good transport links and private garden.
Chain free and offered freehold
This four-bedroom detached house on Egglestone Close is a spacious renovation project offered chain free and in need of updating throughout. The layout includes a large living room with extended dining area, ground-floor WC, a rear-facing kitchen and an integral garage — all offering scope for reconfiguration or extension to create an open-plan family space.
Practical positives include gas central heating from a boiler and radiators, double glazing fitted after 2002, a decent plot with a private, low-maintenance rear garden, and off-street parking plus garage. The property was built in the 1980s and sits in a quiet cul-de-sac with very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working.
Drawbacks are clear and material: the house requires renovation (kitchen, bathrooms, decoration and likely cosmetic works throughout), the family bathroom has dated sanitaryware and will need replacement for most buyers, and any purchaser should budget for general updating and possible structural works if reconfiguring internal walls or integrating the garage. Local schools are a mix of ratings; some nearby primaries are currently rated 'Requires improvement'.
For families or buyers seeking a project in a comfortable, affluent neighbourhood, this property offers strong potential to add value through modernisation and sensible extensions. Its location provides easy access to local green spaces, transport links and amenities while remaining a quiet residential street.
