Set on the seventh floor with direct views over Ipswich Marina, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment offers a bright, move-in-ready home for a first-time buyer or commuter. The reception room opens to a contemporary fitted kitchen and benefits from generous proportions across 733 sq ft, while the principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite. Allocated parking plus a guest permit and fast broadband make daily life easy.
Practical details are clear: the building dates from the early 2000s and has double glazing; flood risk is low and mobile signal is excellent. Service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs (approximately £2,600 and £200 annually respectively). Heating is by electric room heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas-fired systems.
Location is a major strength — a short walk to Ipswich train station, the redeveloped waterfront with cafés and restaurants, and local shops and amenities. Schools in the area include several rated Good and one Outstanding primary, supporting family use. Crime levels are higher than average locally, so buyers should consider security and insurance costs when deciding.
Overall this is a convenient, contemporary apartment that will suit someone seeking low-maintenance living close to transport links and the marina. The unknown tenure should be clarified early in the buying process, and buyers sensitive to service charges or electric heating running costs should factor those into affordability calculations.
