Description

This substantial detached house, dating back to the 1930s, presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with considerable renovation potential. Set on an expansive plot of over 202 feet, this family home features a generous full-width rear extension that has transformed the living space into an impressive sitting/dining area alongside a breakfast room and separate kitchen. The versatile layout includes three well-proportioned bedrooms and a loft room accessible via a proper staircase, making it suitable for various living configurations or as a workspace. The property's exterior boasts ample driveway parking—capable of accommodating up to five vehicles—and a detached garage, while the beautifully landscaped 110-foot south-facing garden remains unoverlooked, providing an ideal setting for relaxation or outdoor entertaining. An added advantage is the additional space available at the side of the house which allows for the possibility of constructing a two-storey side extension (subject to planning permission), enhancing its investment value further. With UPVC double glazing throughout and several outbuildings including a summer house and workshop equipped with electricity, this property offers both charm and functionality. Conveniently located in Ipswich's desirable area with easy access to local amenities and nature paths, this home presents itself as not only a comfortable residence but also as an excellent renovation project waiting for new owners to add their personal touches.
