Description

This two-bedroom mid-terraced house is offered with no onward chain and is situated west of Ipswich, near local shops, bus services and schools, with access to the A14 and A12. The accommodation is arranged around a lounge/dining room with a log burner, a kitchen, a utility area and a ground-floor cloakroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with an electric shower over the bath. The kitchen has fitted wall and base units, an electric hob and oven, and access to the utility area. The property also has gas central heating and double glazing. The agent states that a new slate roof was installed in January 2026. Outside, there is an enclosed front garden and an enclosed rear garden with a timber shed; access to the rear is via a right of way over a neighbour's garden to a passageway. The listing describes the house as requiring some updating. Its existing room arrangement and two double bedrooms provide a basis for considering refurbishment, subject to inspection and verification of the property's condition and services.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

60out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £160,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced around 12% below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a genuine acquisition opportunity. The spacious lounge/dining room and log burner give it a strong starting point, while the dated but usable finishes offer scope for straightforward redecoration and flooring updates. The rear garden is overgrown and could be reshaped into a more inviting outdoor space; the listing also states that a new slate roof was installed in January 2026, though this has not been independently verified.

The light renovation range is £6,000–£12,000, with the main appeal being a manageable refresh rather than a major rebuild. The score is a C: the price and economics are supportive, while the overall opportunity is more measured than a high-scoring project.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated decoration and flooring while retaining the spacious lounge/dining room and its log burner as a focal point.
  • Tidy and rework the overgrown rear garden to make better use of its enclosed outdoor space.
  • Acquire below the local average per square foot, with two usable bedrooms and storage already in place.
