Characterful starter home with garden and recent boiler upgrade.
Three bedrooms in Victorian semi-detached house
This three-bedroom semi-detached Victorian house on Phoenix Road offers a compact, well-presented home with authentic period character and a good-size rear garden. Recent practical upgrades include a new boiler and a replaced consumer unit within the last five years, and double glazing fitted after 2002. The property is freehold and sits in a residential area served by strong local schools and easy access to Ipswich Hospital and the town centre.
Internally the layout provides two reception rooms, a kitchen and a stylish ground-floor bathroom, with three modest first-floor bedrooms above. The house totals approximately 762 sq ft, so rooms feel economical rather than expansive — a realistic, manageable size for first-time buyers or landlords targeting local rents.
Buyers should note some limitations: the home carries an EPC rating of E and the original solid-brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so further energy-efficiency work may be needed. The plot and overall property size are small, and there is a single bathroom, which may influence family comfort or rental yield calculations.
Overall this property is best suited to a first-time buyer seeking a characterful starter home close to schools and transport, or to an investor looking for a straightforward let in a well-connected Ipswich location. The combination of recent mechanical upgrades, period appeal and a private garden offers clear potential, with scope to improve energy performance and add value over time.
