This chain-free, first-floor one-bedroom apartment in IP2 offers an affordable entry into Ipswich or a compact buy-to-let prospect. The flat includes a generous sitting room, double bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, with double glazing and gas central heating already in place. Communal gardens and external storage cupboards add practical outdoor space.
The property requires renovation throughout: kitchen and bathroom are dated, flooring and fixtures need replacement, and general redecoration is needed. The building is ex-local authority and in a very deprived area, so buyers should factor in local market conditions when planning resale or rental strategies.
Important lease information: 85 years remain on the lease, which is low and will likely need extending soon — this is a material issue that affects mortgageability and value. Service charge and ground rent are low (annual service charge £364.73, ground rent £10), and council tax is in Band A, which helps running costs.
For first-time buyers with DIY skills or investors willing to carry out works, this flat can be improved to add value. It sits within walking distance of local schools, shops and bus routes, and benefits from fast broadband and good mobile signal. Viewings are recommended for those comfortable with a renovation project and the lease considerations.
