This has just come on the market very local to me, not the most attractive building, but absolutely gorgeous inside.

Nice inside but the proximity to the boundary fence and the huge place next door would put me off.

Username definitely checks out

Has there ever been a more apt PH username to property?

It's seeing things like that which make me want to move to the States just because apparently you can build whatever the fk you want on your own land without going through planning committees. My dream house build would never get permission here.

My parents lived in Maine in the 1980's. Dad had 10+ acres with road frontage, so he asked the local authority what were the limitations on building a house or four...

The answer was; highest window cill cannot be more than 35ft above adjoining ground level. Roof apex could be any height.

Why? Because that's the height of the Fire Dept. longest ladder.

If you want to sponsor a longer ladder, you can build higher!

By the same token, you do get some challenging real estate and a lot of 'tar paper shacks'.

You can’t leave it there! You’ve piqued my interest as to what you’d want!!!

Have they checked the cellar for a coffin and scantily clad big breasted twins.

Is Ipswich really this bad to make this seem so cheap?

This also looks nice too.

Both properties are in smallish towns, not Ipswich or Colchester.

That first one would have to be a labour of love, but it could be stunning.

Indeed - But there must be a bunch of reasons it is so cheap.

As above bit like saying Berkhamsted is London

First one "Grade II* Listed" so you need to love it as is, with some added polish and not mind being on the high street. Hadleigh from the couple visits/ evenings out seems like a nice place. The Indian is 3 doors down from the property one way and 4 from the Chinese the other and presume you've seen you are overlooked by the new housing at the side and back?

Dedham might want to check flood risk report, not sure it would reach the property but would put a dampener on your little walk to the restaurant

ETA
Not sure it's full prawn level but If you like Hadleigh how about using the £250k saved (plus cost avoided) on making this former pub more homely, and make most of overlooking the cricket pitch compared to just looking at the other side of the high street?

If we're heading East, here's an elegant townhouse in Kings Lynn, been on just over a year and still not selling (assume because of the school?) which could be had for not much cash.

The sagging roof, and the building looking like its not entirely structurally sound I'd say.

I think that's really cool and seems a bargain too

[loughran]

This is a nice place in Nidderdale. Rural but not too far from town, plenty of scope for garaging, quality kitchen.

It comes with the usual trappings of an ancient house (slightly batst layout, a million places to trip and to hire your head). But this is otherwise rather quaint.
