This three-bedroom semi-detached Victorian home on Devonshire Road is offered chain free and ready for a new owner to refresh. Rooms are of modest, practical proportions across an 873 sq ft footprint, with period features such as stripped wood panel doors and tall ceilings that retain character. The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.
Highlights include a south-westerly rear garden with elevated rooftop views, separate sitting and dining rooms, and an en-suite cloakroom to the main bedroom. The layout suits first-time buyers or an investor seeking a lettable three-bed in East Ipswich, close to Copleston School and local amenities.
The house needs renovation and decorative updating after tenancy use; the kitchen and bathroom are dated and would benefit from replacement for modern living. There is a documented history of leaking drains (1992 and 2019) that were repaired and monitored; a 2025 structural survey provided by the seller reports those repairs remain effective with no further faults.
Practical points: parking is on-street, the plot is small, and the immediate area records above-average crime and relative deprivation. For buyers prioritising location and period charm over a turnkey finish, this property presents clear scope to add value through targeted refurbishment.
