Properties for Sale and Rent in Ipswich

Estate agencies in Ipswich are offering a great variety of properties on the area's favourite locations.

Ipswich is a compact town with plenty of local amenities. There’s also a range of rural and coastal retreats on its doorstep.

As one of England’s oldest towns, history is ever-present in Ipswich and its architecture – take the impressive Ancient House for example, a Grade I-listed building in the Buttermarket area that dates from the 15th century.

But conversely, Ipswich has also benefited from extensive redevelopment. The waterfront is now a thriving residential and commercial centre, presenting plenty of opportunities for property buyers.

Ipswich port is still fully operational and is the UK’s largest agri-port.

House-hunters with families can take advantage of the schools in the area. Many have been rated as ‘good’ by Ofsted. Some, such as Castle Hill Infant School, received the top rating of ‘outstanding’ at the last inspection.

Urban living: The desirable Christchurch Park area is the place to look if you want a spacious detached character property or flat in a period conversion.

But if you’re after a modern one- or two-bedroom apartment, or a luxury duplex penthouse, try the waterfront development of Neptune Marina.

Terraced houses are readily available in Ipswich too. You’ll find larger Victorian properties throughout the town centre, and smaller terraces on the likes of Ipswich Road, York Road and Boston Road.

The most inexpensive housing in Ipswich tends to be in the Chantry district

For substantial family homes, look out for streets such as Ashbocking Road in Henley. You’ll also find barn conversions on the fringe of the village.

Semis and detached homes dating back to the 20th century are available on roads such as Hardwick Close and Chatsworth Drive in Rushmere St Andrew.
