*Quote Ref: 764023 when calling*<br/><br/>Set on Fore Street in the heart of Ipswich, this ground floor flat offers something a lot of town properties don’t real character, great ceiling height, and a surprisingly calm feel despite being just a short walk from everything. From here, it’s around five minutes to the High Street and five minutes to the Marina, putting shops, restaurants, cafés, and the best of town living right on your doorstep.<br/><br/>Inside, the flat feels bright, open, and far more substantial than you might expect. The high ceilings and large windows bring in plenty of natural light, giving it more of a house feel than a typical flat. There’s a welcoming entrance hall as you come in, with the rooms flowing naturally from there.<br/><br/>The lounge is a really good size and adds to that sense of space, while the kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cupboard space, good worktop area, and everything you need for day-to-day living. Both bedrooms are comfortable rooms, and the second bedroom has a particularly lovely feature fireplace with decorative mosaic detail that adds real charm and personality.<br/><br/>One of the nice surprises here is the shared courtyard to the rear. Tucked away from the busier side of town, it offers a quieter outdoor space to sit out, store bikes, or just enjoy a bit of fresh air. While shared with the other flats, it still feels like a tucked-away spot to escape the pace of the town centre.<br/><br/>The flat itself has been refurbished in recent years, so it feels fresh, modern, and ready to move straight into, while still keeping the character of the building it sits within. There’s a really nice balance here between old and new a bit of period charm, but without the work. The building as a whole is Grade II listed, which helps explain the lovely sense of character throughout, while secondary glazing has been added to work alongside the original single glazing.<br/><br/>It’s a leasehold property with 116 years remaining, a ground rent of £150 per annum, and a service charge of £2,100 per year. The flat runs on electric only.<br/><br/>It would make a great first home, a smart buy for someone wanting easy access to town or the hospital, and an excellent option for buyers who don’t rely on a car. It also works well as an investment, with the property already performing well as a tenanted flat.
