Summary - 26 The Shamrock, Regatta Quay, Key Street IP4 1FG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Spacious commuter one-bed with parking and direct London rail links.
Mezzanine master bedroom with loft-style overlook
Light-filled, mezzanine-level living gives this one-bedroom apartment a distinctive loft feel and generous floor area (approximately 626 sq ft). The open-plan reception and integrated kitchen suit first-time buyers and investors seeking a ready-to-rent, modern home a short walk from Ipswich station. Direct train links to London Liverpool Street and the nearby waterfront restaurants and bars add clear commuter and lifestyle appeal.
Practical features include off-street parking, double glazing, a large entrance storage cupboard and a long lease of about 110 years. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the property was constructed in the mid-2000s, reducing the likelihood of immediate major structural work.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context: heating is electric room heaters (no gas central heating), the annual service charge averages £2,700 and ground rent is £250. The wider area is a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood with relatively high crime statistics and some local deprivation, which could affect personal comfort and rental market dynamics.
Overall this apartment suits a commuter or investor wanting a sizeable city-centre one-bed with character and convenience. It offers low flood risk, modern finishes and good connectivity, balanced against higher service charges and the characteristic challenges of a busy, student-dense urban area.
