Description

This three-bedroom detached house, available without a chain, presents an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Set in the desirable area of east Ipswich, it features a spacious rear garden measuring over 125 feet—ideal for creating your own outdoor oasis or extending the living space. The house, which retains much of its original mid-1930s charm, requires extensive upgrading and modernization throughout. Some improvements have been made, including a complete re-wiring and installation of a modern fuse board. While gas central heating is present, the boiler's condition remains untested. The layout includes a lounge with a charming bay window providing ample afternoon sunlight, a dining room with French doors leading to the garden, and a compact kitchen that accommodates necessary appliances. On the first floor, three bedrooms—each with distinctive character elements—await transformation into comfortable living spaces. Outside, driveway parking is available for one vehicle, with potential for expansion to accommodate more cars. The property also boasts useful brick outbuildings for storage or utility purposes. Its proximity to local amenities such as Ipswich Hospital and several schools makes this home not only a renovation project but also a wise investment in a sought-after neighbourhood.
