Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house, built in the late 1800s, is located on the west side of Ipswich and offers convenient access to the mainline train station and the A14 corridor. The property presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment, as it is being sold with no onward chain and requires some updating to unlock its full potential. Upon entering, you are welcomed by an entrance hall that leads into both the lounge and dining room. The lounge features a charming bay window and a traditional fireplace, while the dining room includes additional storage with a large understairs cupboard. The kitchen is equipped with various base and eye-level units along with essential appliances, but would benefit from modern upgrades to enhance functionality and style. The ground floor accommodates a spacious family bathroom that includes essential fixtures, though it may also require some refurbishment to meet contemporary standards. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms; two of them are generously sized, while the third bedroom is accessed through the second. Each space presents an opportunity for personal touches or reconfiguration. The outdoor area includes a fully enclosed rear garden with a mix of lawn space and patio, perfect for creating an inviting outdoor retreat or entertainment area. The front courtyard garden is also well-defined by low walls that provide both appeal and privacy. Ipswich itself is rich in amenities, including schools, healthcare services, recreational facilities, parks like Orwell Country Park, and cultural venues such as theatres. The ongoing development of the waterfront has transformed it into an attractive locale filled with bars and restaurants. Additionally, the mainline railway offers direct connections to London Liverpool Street Station in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. With its historical charm and advantageous location combined with significant renovation potential, this property represents an excellent investment opportunity in a vibrant community.
