Set on the third floor of a 1980s brick block in Ipswich town centre, this one-bedroom apartment is offered chain free and ready for a first purchase or rental let. Its open-plan living/kitchen maximises usable space and benefits from modern fitted cabinetry and integrated appliances. The mainline station and town amenities are a short walk away, making the location a practical choice for commuters and students.
Practical running costs are reasonable for a town-centre flat: a long lease (around 247 years remaining), modest ground rent (£114 pa) and a below-average service charge (£823 pa). The property has electric heating and fast broadband/mobile connectivity, which supports rental demand and everyday convenience.
Buyers should note the flat is small (about 367 sq ft) and sits in an area with higher crime and local deprivation indicators; this affects some buyer profiles and may influence rental yields and insurance costs. The building and apartment are functionally presented rather than high-spec luxury, so there’s potential value for buyers prepared to update finishes.
Overall, the apartment is a compact, low-management entry into Ipswich’s rental or starter-home market: good transport links and town-centre access are the main selling points, balanced by the neighbourhood context and modest internal space.
