A vacant, top-floor two-bedroom apartment located a short level walk from Sudbury town centre. The open-plan lounge and dining area is bright and provides practical living and entertaining space, while the main bedroom benefits from a dressing area and built-in storage. Communal gardens and designated off-street parking add convenience in a central location.
The property is chain free and offers a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, city-edge flat. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is very low, helping running costs. The building dates from the early 1990s and presents as a generally tidy, purpose-built block.
Important considerations: the flat is leasehold with 63 years remaining — a materially short lease which may deter some mortgage lenders and will affect valuation and future saleability. Heating is electric with room heaters; replacing or upgrading the system may be needed. The local area shows higher crime levels and is described as ageing urban communities with a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood profile, which may be relevant to buyers prioritising neighbourhood stability.
Overall, this property suits a buyer looking for an affordable, centrally located starter home or a pragmatic rental purchase who is aware of lease limitations and potential modernization costs. The flat is ready for occupation but offers clear scope for updating to increase comfort and longer-term value.
