This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace on Norfolk Road offers an accessible entry into Ipswich homeownership. The open-plan lounge/diner and modern first-floor bathroom create a practical, low-maintenance layout suited to everyday living and socialising. The well-presented rear garden provides a pleasant outdoor space for alfresco dining and simple gardening.
The property is freehold with mains gas central heating and good broadband and mobile signals — useful for home working or streaming. Its location close to Christchurch Park, local shops, bus routes and Ipswich station makes commuting and leisure straightforward. Council tax is very low, an ongoing cost advantage for a new owner.
Notable considerations are the property’s small overall footprint and compact rooms, which suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors better than growing families. The area records above-average crime levels and falls in a more deprived local ward, so buyers should review local safety and community services. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the house dates from the mid-20th century, so some future maintenance or upgrades (windows, insulation) may be needed.
In short, this is a tidy, well-located starter home or rental opportunity with outdoor space and practical living areas. Buyers wanting generous living space or a low-crime neighbourhood may prefer to view alternatives, but for price-conscious purchasers seeking a central Ipswich base this property presents clear value and straightforward potential.
