Description

This three-bedroom detached house, available with no onward chain, presents a promising opportunity for renovation in a desirable area west of Ipswich. While some modernization is needed, the property already benefits from double glazing and gas central heating. With parking options available and its proximity to Ipswich town centre, as well as the A12/A14 routes and various local amenities, this home holds significant investment potential. Upon entering, you are greeted by a reception hall that features stairs leading to the first floor and an understair cupboard for added storage. The front-facing sitting room is enhanced by a bay window and an additional side window, providing ample natural light. Adjacent is the dining room with another side window, creating a well-connected space. The ground floor includes a functional shower room equipped with a shower, basin, and WC. The kitchen offers base and eye-level units along with work surfaces and spaces for appliances; it overlooks the garden and has access via a side door. The first-floor landing leads to three bedrooms, including a dual aspect main bedroom featuring both bay and side windows that could be transformed into an impressive master suite. An adjoining room next to this bedroom could serve as either a walk-in wardrobe or extra storage. Two further double bedrooms complete this level—one of which also enjoys dual aspect views. The bathroom on this floor features traditional amenities: bath, basin, and WC with a rear-facing window. Outside, the front is largely hardscaped for easy maintenance while the rear garden provides potential for landscaping improvements with its hardstanding area leading up to shingled sections. Access is also available on both sides of the property leading to a double length garage. Overall, this property stands out not only for its location but also for its ability to be tailored into your dream home through thoughtful renovations.
