A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in central Felixstowe, set within a Victorian bay-fronted house. The home offers high ceilings, a bay-front sitting room, separate kitchen, utility room and a small rear courtyard — compact, characterful accommodation with good natural light and UPVC double glazing. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and the property is chain-free with a long 250-year lease and a 50% share of the freehold to be transferred on completion.
This is a renovation project: the apartment requires updating throughout and the exterior needs some work (roof and general repairs noted). Buyers should expect refurbishment costs and to investigate potential asbestos, consistent with pre-2000 construction notes. There is no flooding risk and essential services are connected; broadband and mobile signals are reported fast and excellent respectively.
Practical considerations: on-street parking, shared gated access to the rear courtyard, and a possible grounds maintenance charge. The vendor requires buyers to reimburse certain search costs (£130) and pay an engrossment fee (£150) on completion. Flagship Housing Ltd currently restricts HMO use; any change of use or covenant release would be subject to their approval.
This apartment suits a handy first-time buyer, downsizer or investor prepared to renovate and add value. The central seafront location, nearby amenities and rail link to Ipswich make it convenient for daily life or holiday letting (subject to covenant). Approach this as a tidy, affordable entry purchase with clear repair and legal costs to factor into your offer.
