We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Positioned towards the popular east side of Ipswich within the Copleston School catchment area and close to Ipswich Hospital lies this beautifully presented four/five-bedroom detached family home.

You will find medieval streets and older buildings in areas like the town centre, alongside regenerated docks, restaurants, cultural venues, and the university area around the Waterfront.
The town is also an important economic hub for Suffolk, with strengths in business, education, culture, and links to nearby Felixstowe port and London by rail with a journey time of approximately 1hr 15mins to London Liverpool Street Station.
