This three-bedroom second-floor apartment places you in the heart of Hadleigh, a short walk from the High Road, Hadleigh Castle and regular bus routes. Bright living spaces and a practical kitchen give an immediate sense of home, while the garage, parking space and private shed add rare storage and convenience for a town-centre flat.
The flat is offered chain free and suits first-time buyers or young families who need straightforward access to shops, schools and transport. Communal gardens provide outdoor space without maintenance, and the property's layout gives flexible living across three bedrooms and a separate WC.
There are important practical considerations: the flat totals about 574 sq ft (compact footprint), the lease has 86 years remaining, and the annual service charge is around £2,088 with a small ground rent of £50. The block was built in the late 1960s–1970s with cavity walls that likely need insulation upgrades — a chance to improve energy performance but an added cost.
Local area factors are mixed: excellent mobile signal and average broadband, good nearby schools, but a recorded higher local crime level that buyers should factor into insurance and security planning. Overall this is a well-located, value-focused property with useful extras (garage, parking, shed) and clear renovation or improvement potential for the right buyer.
