Summary - Flat 3, 42 Leopald Road IP11 7NP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact first-floor one-bedroom near Felixstowe seafront — affordable but lease and modernisation needed.
Bay-fronted living room and high ceilings
This one-bedroom first-floor apartment sits in a Victorian semi-detached building a short walk from Felixstowe town centre and the seafront. The bay-fronted living space and high ceilings give the small 366 sq ft layout a bright, airy feel despite the compact footprint. Double glazing was installed after 2002; the property has electric room heaters and electricity as the main fuel.
The flat will suit a downsizer or a first-time buyer seeking a low-entry seaside home or an investor after a lettable town-centre unit. Local amenities, shops and cafes are all within easy reach and public transport links are close by. Council tax is very cheap and ground rent is modest at £70 per year.
Important practical considerations: the lease has about 61 years remaining — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on this term. The building construction is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation and the flat’s heating is electric room heaters, so energy performance is likely limited. Crime in the area is reported as high, which should be factored into buyer decisions.
The apartment offers straightforward renovation potential where cosmetic updating and heating/electrical upgrades could add value. For buyers prepared to manage lease considerations and modernisation, this is an affordable entry into Felixstowe close to the seafront and town centre.
