This detached four-bedroom family home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in south Ipswich and is offered freehold with no onward chain. The house has generous room sizes across two storeys, a garage, off-street parking and a private, low-maintenance rear garden that is not overlooked. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place.
The property is a clear renovation project: internal fittings are dated and the bathroom sanitaryware is an original pink suite. There is strong scope to reconfigure the ground floor — the extended dining room, garage and downstairs WC offer clear opportunities to create an open-plan kitchen/dining space or an extra reception room. Buyers should allow budget for full modernisation rather than cosmetic updating.
Location is a key asset: Stoke Park woodland, Belstead Brook and Bobbits Lane meadows are within walking distance, and Ipswich railway station and the A14 are a short drive away. Local schools and everyday amenities are nearby, though several primary schools listed are currently rated “Requires improvement”; two nearby secondary schools have Good ratings.
This house will suit buyers seeking a renovation with immediate curb appeal and straightforward extension potential. It’s particularly well placed for families who value outdoor green spaces and easy transport links, or investors aiming to add value through remodelling.
