Comfortable one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of St John’s Court, designed for residents aged over 60. The flat faces west, with a bedroom balcony and a generous lounge overlooking well-tended communal gardens, creating a bright, relaxed living space. A lift serves the building and there is off-street parking and an on-site supervisor for day-to-day support.
The development provides practical communal facilities: lounge, library, laundry room, guest accommodation and an emergency alarm system with call points in key rooms. UPVC double glazing, modern electric programmable storage heaters and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven and microwave keep the apartment low-maintenance and straightforward to manage. Council tax is Band B and the location is an easy walk to Felixstowe town centre and the seafront.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: this is a leasehold retirement property with only around 62–64 years remaining, which may make some mortgage lenders unwilling to lend. The annual service charge is circa £2,500 (includes ground rent, insurance, communal maintenance and utilities), and heating is electric storage/wall-mounted units rather than gas central heating. These factors affect running costs and mortgage options.
This apartment will suit a retiree seeking a low-effort home near town and sea, with on-site support and communal life. It also appeals to cash buyers or downsizers who prioritise convenience and social facilities, but those needing a mortgage should check lender criteria given the remaining lease term.
