Description

This three-bedroom, split-level end of terrace house presents a prime opportunity for renovation in the southwest quadrant of Ipswich. With convenient access to major commuter routes, including the A12 and A14, as well as proximity to the mainline train station, this property is well-positioned for both residential living and investment potential. The home features a traditional layout with distinct areas for relaxation and dining, starting with a welcoming front porch leading into a spacious lounge. This room benefits from large windows that invite natural light and offer access to the upper landing area, which connects to the bedrooms and bathroom. The dining room opens out into the rear garden, creating possibilities for indoor-outdoor flow once renovated. The kitchen is functional but in need of updating; it includes a range of base and eye-level units alongside essential appliances. Here lies potential for modernization—consider reconfiguring this space to create an open-plan design that better meets current lifestyle demands. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms along with a cloakroom and family bathroom—all offering blank canvases for personalization. The secondary landing provides additional storage options with an airing cupboard and leads to two of the bedrooms. The dimensions allow for flexibility in design when it comes time to update these spaces. Outside, the property boasts a block-paved driveway with parking capacity for up to three cars, an asset in urban settings. The enclosed rear garden is laid out with patio areas and shrub borders, offering further scope for landscaping or hardscaping enhancements. Ipswich itself is recognized for its diverse amenities, including schools, healthcare facilities, parks such as the popular Orwell Country Park, and vibrant waterfront developments. With direct train links servicing London Liverpool Street in about 1 hour 15 minutes, this area appeals strongly to commuters as well as families seeking community-oriented living. This property is offered with no onward chain, making it easier for investors or future homeowners ready to embark on a refurbishment project tailored to their preferences. Whether you are looking to create your dream home or seeking a profitable rental investment within an evolving neighborhood, this residence holds significant potential.
