This first-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment in Mountbatten Court is offered chain free and recently refreshed, making it ready to occupy or re-let quickly. The layout features a notably large sitting/dining room, separate kitchen, bathroom with separate WC, and a lockable external storage room that houses the gas boiler. Double-glazed windows and gas central heating are practical benefits for low running hassle.
At 589 sq ft with 111 years remaining on the lease, the property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable entry into Ipswich (price £120,000). The communal grounds are modest and primarily lawn. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern working-from-home needs.
Buyers should note material negatives: the building sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime level, which may affect rental demand or resale premiums. The overall property footprint is small, and the communal setting is typical of mid‑century blocks; long-distance views are not a feature. Annual costs include a £520 service charge and a £10 ground rent. The apartment’s practical condition is good after recent decoration, but the block and communal areas are dated and may require ongoing maintenance or future upgrades.
Overall this flat represents a straightforward, low-entry opportunity close to Ipswich town centre and amenities. It will suit buyers prioritising location and affordability over a premium neighbourhood; investors should factor area-wide deprivation and crime into return assumptions.
