A detached warehouse of approximately 1,200 sq ft on a small freehold plot in Ipswich, offered with notable development potential. The site previously secured planning approvals (2007 and 2010) for demolition and erection of a three‑storey block of six flats with on‑site parking — a clear starting point for a residential redevelopment scheme. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and there is off‑street parking provision.
The building is a mid‑20th century single‑storey brick warehouse with a flat roof and a utilitarian interior. It requires modernisation or full redevelopment depending on buyer ambitions. The site sits in an urban, constrained neighbourhood and local area character is mixed, which affects both resale positioning and likely rental demand.
Key considerations for buyers: planning approvals exist but are historic — buyers should verify current status and any new requirements with the local planning authority. The area is classified as deprived with above‑average crime statistics, which will influence tenancy profiles, valuation and insurance. This is best suited to a developer or investor willing to manage refurbishment or submit updated planning for residential conversion.
