2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Secure gated apartment near Ipswich town centre with communal facilities and shared-ownership options.
First-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment, 861 sq ft
A bright two-bedroom retirement apartment in a secure gated development close to Ipswich town centre. Apartment 15 is a first-floor, 861 sq ft home with a generous master bedroom and en-suite, a second bedroom suitable for guests or a study, and an airy living room with natural tones that maximise light. The fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and a separate utility cupboard with washer-dryer for convenience.
Designed for independent retirement living, the development offers stylish communal areas, landscaped gardens, lifts to all floors, camera entry, intruder alarm and site-wide fire detection. The leasehold sits within a long remaining term (988 years) and shared-ownership options are available (example: 50% share at £145,000 plus £333pcm rent; 75% share at £217,500). The building dates from 2016 and has a strong SAP rating (up to 85) and average thermal performance.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters which can mean higher running costs than gas central heating; the property is leasehold with shared-ownership permutations and associated service charges; the immediate area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect perceptions and future resale. Flood risk is low and mobile and broadband connectivity are excellent.
This apartment will suit retirees seeking low-maintenance, secure living with easy access to town facilities and on-site communal life. It also presents interest for investors targeting managed retirement housing, though the local area profile and running costs are important factors to weigh.
