This modern one-bedroom ground-floor flat sits within an attractive converted red-brick building close to Leiston town centre. The open-plan kitchen/living room and rear garden offer a practical, low-maintenance layout ideal for a first-time buyer or a straightforward buy-to-let. The development dates from 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing and an enclosed communal setting.
Practical running costs are clear: very low council tax, allocated off-street parking and a long lease (982 years). Note the property uses electric room heaters rather than a gas central heating system, which may affect energy costs and tenant appeal in winter. The flat is average in size (approx. 560 sq ft) with high ceilings and good natural light in the principal rooms.
There are ongoing ownership costs to factor in: an annual service charge (circa 1,000) and a small ground rent ( 150). The flat is offered with no onward chain, making for a potentially quick purchase, but prospective buyers should verify service charge details and commission their own checks on services and appliances.
Overall this is a practical, low-upkeep property in a pleasant courtyard development, suited to someone seeking an accessible starter home or a rental investment in a self-contained small-town location.
