A bright one-bedroom first-floor maisonette in Chantry, offered with no onward chain and practical access to the A12/A14. The layout comprises an entrance and stairs to a landing with storage, a generous reception room, separate fitted kitchen, double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. Communal garden space and a mid-20th-century red-brick block give a suburban feel close to Ipswich town centre and the mainline station.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city base or an investor after a low-entry rental opportunity. Running costs look favourable: below-average service charge (£400) and very low ground rent (£10), with an 88-year lease and mains gas central heating. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working from home.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood and finishing: the local area is classified as hampered/very deprived and crime levels are average. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and presents a straightforward modernization/refurbishment opportunity rather than a turnkey showhome. Lease length (88 years) is workable but will affect mortgage options for some buyers and may warrant future extension planning.
Internal viewing is recommended to assess room sizes and condition. For a buyer prioritising location, low running costs and entry-level pricing (£110,000), this maisonette represents clear potential—either as a starter home or an income-producing let—but it carries typical mid-century maintenance and neighbourhood trade-offs.
