Second-floor flat with private balcony and natural light
Residents off-street parking included

Higher-than-average local crime and area deprivation
Public notice: offer received; higher written bids required
This compact second-floor flat offers an affordable entry into Ipswich living, set a short walk from the town centre, train station and waterfront. The open-plan reception opens to a balcony, providing extra outdoor space and daylight for the living area. Two double bedrooms and a fitted kitchen make this a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with about 104 years remaining, a below-average service charge of £960, and very low council tax. There is residents’ off-street parking and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal—useful for commuting or working from home. Flood risk is low.
Buyers should note material considerations: heating is electric via room heaters rather than a central gas system, and glazing installation dates are unknown. The wider neighbourhood has higher crime levels and is classed as deprived, which may affect long-term resale and rental demand. Also, a public notice indicates an offer of £81,000 has been received; higher written offers must be submitted before exchange.
Overall, the flat represents a low-cost route into Ipswich property ownership or a straightforward rental prospect for investors willing to accept the area’s social challenges and carry out minor improvements to heating and finishes.
