A well-located one-bedroom ground-floor apartment offering straightforward city living close to Christchurch Park and Ipswich town centre. The flat benefits from its own private entrance, residents' off-street parking and a long 951-year share of freehold - with no ground rent and a low service charge, making ongoing costs predictable for a first-time buyer or investor.
Inside, the accommodation is practical and bright: a generously sized living room, a double bedroom, a fitted kitchen with space for dining appliances, and a large three-piece bathroom. At about 582 sq ft the layout suits single occupants or couples wanting easy access to town, transport links and local amenities including shops, restaurants and green space.
Buyers should note material considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the building has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), so energy efficiency upgrades may be desirable. The property sits in an area with higher crime rates and marked local deprivation, which affects long-term capital uplift and may influence mortgage/deposit requirements for some lenders.
Offered with no onward chain and a very long lease, this flat represents a low-cost entry into central Ipswich. It will suit first-time buyers seeking convenience and low service overheads, or investors targeting straightforward lettings, provided they are comfortable with the neighbourhood profile and potential improvement costs for insulation and heating efficiency.
