A purpose-built, first-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Felixstowe, this two-double-bedroom flat offers easy, low-maintenance living within walking distance of the seafront and town centre. The dual-aspect sitting room opens to a private balcony, and a shaker-style kitchen provides integrated oven and hob with space for appliances — ideal for independent over-55s seeking convenience and coastal access.
Practical running costs are clear: a service charge of approximately £3,938.38 a year and ground rent of about £194.34 a year cover communal maintenance and parking. The property is 641 sq ft, has electric storage heating, double glazing installed before 2002 and a single bathroom with a walk-in shower, making it straightforward to manage but not fully modernised.
Important caution for buyers: the current lease has 61 years remaining. This is materially short and many mortgage lenders may refuse lending on this property. Prospective purchasers should obtain specialist legal and mortgage advice early; cash buyers or those with specialist retirement lending are more likely to complete.
Overall this apartment will suit a retired buyer wanting a central, seaside location and low-maintenance communal living. It offers immediate occupation potential and sensible communal facilities, but buyers must factor in the lease length and electric heating when assessing long-term suitability.
