A well-presented second-floor retirement apartment in Gressland Court, offering comfortable independent living with on-site support and communal facilities. The living room is bright and features a Juliet balcony and electric fireplace; the master bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite wet room. Practical extras include two large hallway cupboards, an airing cupboard and off-street parking.
Gressland Court is purpose-built for independent retirees with lift access, 24/7 duty manager, emergency alarm system, communal dining (three-course lunch available), a busy social programme and well-kept communal gardens. The development sits centrally in Kesgrave, within 250 yards of Tesco and close to local healthcare, shops and transport links to Ipswich.
Important costs and considerations are clear: a relatively high monthly service charge of £753 (covering services, maintenance and communal facilities), an annual ground rent of £514.56 and a 1% resale contribution to the reserve fund. The property is chain-free, on a long 999-year lease and EPC/Council Tax band C, but buyers should factor the ongoing service charge into affordability calculations.
This apartment suits purchasers aged 65+ seeking a sociable, low-maintenance retirement setting with onsite support and communal amenities, rather than those wanting a purely independent, low-cost flat or a hands-off buy-to-let investment.
