A practical two-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Harvest Court, a well-kept over-55s development moments from Felixstowe town centre and the seafront. The layout includes a light lounge, kitchen/diner with integrated double oven, two bedrooms (built-in wardrobes to bedroom one) and a bathroom with walk-in bath. Windows are double glazed and the building benefits from a house manager, lift access and communal gardens.
A rare plus for the block is the private garage (19' x 8'6") with light and power — useful storage or secure parking in a town-centre setting. The apartment has ample hall storage and emergency pull cords in living areas and bedrooms, designed for independent retirement living. Appliances such as the washing machine and fridge-freezer are included.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold property with 64 years remaining — a level that may restrict mortgage availability and could deter some lenders. The annual service charge is £4,279.46 (paid in two instalments) and ground rent totals £194.34 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with gas central heating.
This home suits someone seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located retirement base with lift access and the uncommon benefit of a garage. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the accommodation and communal facilities, and buyers should seek mortgage advice given the lease length.
