Third-floor two-bedroom apartment with balcony and open-plan living
Close to waterfront, town centre, university and mainline station
Permit/off-street parking and communal gardens included
Leasehold: 107 years remaining (original 125-year lease)
Service charge £2,160 pa (includes water); ground rent £240 pa
Electric storage heating — higher running costs likely
Double glazing; built 2003–2006 with average-sized rooms
Local area: higher crime levels than average — consider location risks
Set on the third floor and within easy walking distance of Ipswich waterfront and the town centre, this two-bedroom apartment offers a contemporary open-plan living space with balcony, permit parking and communal gardens. The layout includes an entrance hallway, open-plan kitchen/living room, two bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a separate bathroom — suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a city-centre rental opportunity.
Practical running costs and ownership details are clear: the property is leasehold with 107 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,160 (includes water) and ground rent of £240. Heating is electric storage radiators and the glazing is modern double-glazed units, so energy performance is typical for a 2003–2006 build rather than a newer development.
Notable positives include proximity to the redeveloped waterfront, good local amenities, average broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus permit/off-street parking. Equally important to note are material considerations: the area records higher crime levels than average, the apartment relies on electric storage heating (which can be costly), and the annual service charge is significant for a modest-sized flat.
This apartment suits someone looking for an affordable entry into Ipswich town living or an investor targeting a central rental. An internal viewing is recommended to assess finish, storage and heating performance in person.
