Full description
A Victorian period SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE in need of renovation. The property is conveniently situated within the St Helens Conservation Area in a popular residential area on the favoured Eastern side of Ipswich, only a short walk from the town centre and local shops. The house is located within the Northgate High School catchment area and is close to St Helens & St Marys R C Primary Schools.
