Occupying a second-floor position with a wide, raised outlook over Felixstowe seafront, this two-bedroom apartment will suit buyers seeking a coastal location and easy access to the promenade. The principal rooms and covered balcony deliver genuine sea, promenade and Port views — a rare and immediate selling point for seaside living. The apartment includes a single garage and communal gardens that add useful storage and outdoor space.
The flat requires general modernisation throughout: the kitchen is dated and the property would benefit from updating to bring heating, finishes and fixtures up to modern standards. Service charge is around £1,200pa and council tax sits in Band D. Broadband speeds are reported slow; mobile signal is excellent. The property is sold chain free, which helps a quick move, but notable practical and financial matters need attention.
A serious constraint is the short lease term: only 47 years remain. That will significantly restrict mortgage availability and is likely to deter many lenders; buyers should obtain specialist leasehold advice before proceeding. Crime levels in the area are above average and the surrounding locality is classified as deprived, so budget for additional security or community considerations.
For a buyer who can manage refurbishment and navigate lease issues (or who can buy with cash), this apartment offers an exceptional seaside aspect, a private garage and a position within easy walking distance of Felixstowe town centre, cafés and the beach. The combination of location and sea views gives clear potential once lease and modernisation matters are resolved.
