Low-maintenance, well-located first-floor home near town and coast.
Open-plan kitchen/living room with Juliet balcony and integrated appliances
Situated on the first floor of a modern development in central Leiston, this two-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance, contemporary living with off-street parking and communal grounds. The open-plan kitchen/living area with a Juliet balcony creates a light, sociable space, while the refitted shower room and integrated kitchen appliances reduce immediate upkeep.
Practical details make this a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor: an extensive 982-year lease removes typical lease-length concerns, and the property is close to local shops, transport links and the Suffolk coast. The nearby Sizewell C development also adds potential for local rental demand and employment opportunities.
Buyers should note the ongoing costs: an annual service charge of £1,370.70 and ground rent of £150. These contribute to well-maintained communal areas but are material running costs to factor into affordability and rental yield calculations. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
Overall, this apartment suits someone seeking a ready-to-move-in, low-maintenance home or a rental purchase in a coastal market with local employment growth. It presents sensible short-term convenience and clear longer-term potential, provided buyers account for the service charge and ground rent in their budgeting.
