Compact period property with a long rear garden and strong refurbishment potential.
Chain-free three-bedroom mid-terrace
A three-bedroom mid-terrace in east Ipswich offered chain-free and ready for someone to add value. The house retains late-Victorian character externally and sits within the popular Copleston School catchment, with easy access to local shops, buses and Ipswich mainline station to London.
Accommodation is compact: two reception rooms, ground-floor shower room, kitchen/utility and three first-floor bedrooms. The property has gas central heating, double glazing and a surprisingly long rear garden of approximately 90ft (subject to survey), which is a notable outside asset for this size of house.
The terrace requires updating — cosmetic modernisation and likely energy-performance improvements are needed. Walls are solid brick and the property appears to lack cavity insulation; budget for insulation and kitchen/bathroom refurbishment. Overall the house offers clear scope for a first-time buyer or investor to increase value through straightforward updating.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low council tax band, fast broadband and no flooding risk. On-street parking and nearby amenities make this a convenient urban home, but expect small rooms and some maintenance work before moving in or letting.
