This three-bedroom semi-detached home in East Ipswich offers a practical, well-located starter or rental opportunity. Set close to Copleston School and within easy reach of the town centre and waterfront, the house combines period charm — stripped wood panel doors, sash-style windows — with straightforward modern comforts such as double glazing and gas central heating.
The layout is functional: sitting room, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and ground-floor bathroom, with three bedrooms and an en-suite cloakroom off the main bedroom upstairs. A gated walled forecourt and an enclosed south-westerly rear garden with patio and far-reaching rooftop views are useful outside assets. Broadband and mobile signal are reported good, and the property is offered freehold and chain-free.
Important issues to note: the property is decoratively tired and needs renovation and freshening following tenancy; the vendor discloses historic drain leaks (1992 and 2019) that were repaired and monitored, and a 2025 structural survey confirms the repairs remain effective. Parking is on-street only, the plot is small, and local crime levels are above average — factors to consider for family buyers and investors.
Overall, this is a straightforward, value-driven purchase for a first-time buyer or investor willing to carry out cosmetic and targeted improvements. The established garden and period features give scope to increase appeal and rental value with modest works.
