A substantial Victorian townhouse finished with many original details and generous room proportions, positioned a short walk from Christchurch Park and Ipswich School. The house extends to about 2,223 sq ft over three storeys plus a basement, offering two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room and five bedrooms — a layout well suited to a growing family or multi-occupancy use.
Practical conveniences include off-road parking for several vehicles, a useful garage/workshop, gas central heating and a south‑east facing paved terrace leading to an established lawned garden. The property’s size and proximity to the town centre and station give it strong location appeal and potential for reconfiguration or modernisation to suit contemporary family life.
Buyers should note this is a solid brick Victorian property (believed built 1885) with no known cavity insulation and an EPC rating of D. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms and a basement used primarily for storage, so some modernisation — including improved thermal performance, additional shower rooms or updated kitchen/bathrooms — may be required to maximise comfort and value.
Freehold tenure, low local crime and fast broadband add everyday convenience. Schooling options nearby and easy access to the A12/A14 make the house practical for commuters and families; the property will particularly suit purchasers looking for a period home they can update while keeping character features.
