This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in Ipswich, Suffolk, presents a mixed proposition for potential buyers. Located in the Sprites area of Ipswich, it benefits from proximity to Ipswich train station and several schools, including The Oaks Primary School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Hawthorn Children’s Centre. However, the property is undeniably in need of extensive refurbishment. The photographs reveal a property in poor condition requiring significant work to modernise the kitchen, bathroom, and interior finishes. The garden, while present, appears to be of a relatively small size, based on the limited photographic evidence. The asking price of £200,000 sits within the average range of comparable properties in the area, but the substantial cost of renovation should be factored into any potential purchase decision. Buyers should carefully weigh the potential return on investment against the substantial initial outlay required to make the property habitable and appealing to modern standards. Further investigation into the specific plot size and the precise condition of the structure is advised before making an informed purchase decision. The lack of price-per-square-foot data for comparable properties further limits the ability to assess value for money accurately.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
