This chain-free, top-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, practical home or buy-to-let near Ipswich town centre and the marina. The open-plan living area leads to a balcony, bringing light into the principal living space. Two bedrooms, an ensuite and a main bathroom make it ready for immediate occupation.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: allocated off-street parking, a 106-year lease remaining, and an EPC rating of C. The building is modern (constructed 2003–2006) with double glazing and cavity wall insulation, helping keep running costs moderate despite electric storage heating.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area with above-average crime and wider local deprivation; the service charge is approximately £2,200 per year and ground rent £250. The flat would benefit from cosmetic updating and some interior modernisation to maximise value and rental appeal.
With fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus walking distance to the university, train station and local amenities, the apartment is well placed for commuting students or first-time buyers wanting town access. Investors will find straightforward let potential, though factors such as service charge and area profile should be weighed when calculating returns.
