Tucked away in Leiston, this Victorian semi-detached home combines period character with practical, flexible living across three floors. The sitting room features a feature log burner and direct garden access, while a separate dining room and a long fitted kitchen give family-friendly circulation and usable day-to-day space. The top-floor room with skylight is versatile — ideal as a home office, guest bedroom or hobby room.
The fully enclosed rear garden is a standout for the size: mature planting, paved and gravelled seating areas and a potting shed create private outdoor space that’s low-maintenance and useful for children or pets. The kitchen is well equipped with a new integrated fridge-freezer and has good natural light from a skylight. Practical touches include an airing cupboard, downstairs shower room and plumbing for a washing machine.
Notable constraints are the property’s overall small footprint (circa 769 sq ft) and a single bathroom, which may feel tight for larger families. The plot is small and there’s no specific mention of off-street parking. Crime levels in the area are above average, so buyers prioritising security should take that into account. The house is freehold with no flood risk and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Leiston offers convenient local amenities, schools and easy access to the Suffolk coast, making this a sensible purchase for couples, young families or buyers seeking a character home with usable outdoor space and room to adapt. The flexible layout and central location also suit a home-worker or those wanting a manageable maintenance property close to local services.
