Description

Nestled within the desirable Crofts area of Ipswich, this three-bedroom semi-detached house presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. While the home is being sold with no onward chain, it does require some updating, allowing new owners to tailor the space to their preferences. The property features a substantial rear garden that offers ample outdoor space for various landscaping possibilities or even an extension (subject to planning). The front of the house includes off-road parking for one vehicle and access to an integral garage, providing both convenience and additional storage options. Inside, the layout encompasses a welcoming front porch that leads into an entrance hall, from which you can access the lounge—a comfortable area filled with natural light. The 17ft kitchen/breakfast room offers a generous footprint, accommodating a range of configurations for modern living. It also features sliding patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden, creating an inviting flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The utility room adds practicality with space for laundry appliances and direct access to both the garden and garage. On the first floor, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms, each benefiting from windows that allow natural light to fill the rooms. A shower room serves this level and comes equipped with essential fittings but could be enhanced further for modern aesthetics. The location itself enhances this property's appeal. Ipswich boasts a variety of local amenities including shops, schools, parks such as Orwell Country Park, healthcare facilities, and two theatres. Furthermore, it benefits from excellent transport links to London Liverpool Street Station—an attractive feature for commuters—and has seen considerable development along its waterfront area, adding lifestyle options like trendy bars and restaurants. With its combination of location advantages and renovation opportunities, this property stands out as a promising investment for those looking to make their mark in a vibrant community.
