Summary - MANSARD COTTAGE THE STREET COPDOCK IPSWICH IP8 3HS
1 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
One-bedroom home with beams, skylight and quick rail links to Ipswich and London.
Victorian character with exposed beams and feature fireplace
Mansard Cottage is a one-bedroom Victorian semi with genuine period character and a compact, low-maintenance plot. The living room's exposed timbers and feature fireplace create a cosy reception space, while the open-plan kitchen/dining area benefits from a vaulted ceiling and skylight that bring extra light into the heart of the house. Broadband is ultrafast and mobile signal is excellent, making the property well suited to remote working or streaming.
The whole first floor is given over to a generous double bedroom with storage and potential to create a small home-office corner. Practical additions include a separate utility room and a stylish cloakroom; the main bathroom is on the ground floor. The paved courtyard garden is private and easy to maintain, with a detached brick outbuilding for storage.
Buyers should note the cottage scale: total internal area is about 545 sq ft, with some low ceilings and compact rooms typical of older properties. Some fittings appear dated and the house may benefit from light modernisation to suit contemporary preferences. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the EPC is pending — purchasers should take these factors into account.
The setting in Copdock village offers excellent local amenities including a pub, shop and community events, plus quick road and rail links to Ipswich, Colchester and London. This home will appeal to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking character, low external maintenance and strong connectivity rather than large garden or expansive living space.
