A detached, chain-free bungalow-style house purpose-built for over-55s on the popular Martlesham Heath development. The property offers surprisingly large accommodation across two storeys including a generous sitting/dining room, a modern kitchen and two bedrooms (one on the ground floor) — useful for flexible living or guest use. Private front and rear gardens and off-street parking sit on a notably large plot for the development.
Practical features include double glazing and electric radiator heating, mains gas, water, drainage and fast broadband/mobile signal. The location is convenient: close to the local shopping centre and with easy access to the A12/A14, Ipswich, Woodbridge and Felixstowe. The sale is freehold and chain free, which simplifies moving for downsizers or those seeking a retirement base.
Buyers should note the annual service charge of £2,882.10 (2024) which covers buildings insurance, communal electricity, grounds maintenance and monitoring services, plus a small additional heathland maintenance fee of £45 per year. The property has an EPC rating of E and electric heating; some buyers may wish to consider energy improvements. The area records higher crime levels than average — prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures.
There is clear scope to personalise the home: an adjacent ground-floor room was formerly a shower room and could be reinstated, and the interior offers opportunities for updating to improve energy performance and suit individual needs. Overall this is a roomy, well-situated retirement property offering privacy, parking and strong local convenience.
