An open-plan layout flows seamlessly into a thoughtfully designed kitchen, featuring base cabinets, countertops, and space-saving solutions for essential appliances. There’s a window to the side here that presents an offset view of the river Stour.

The inner hall leads to a spacious bedroom, complete with tall fitted wardrobes and scenic views across The Stour Estuary and Suffolk coastline. A modern shower room awaits, equipped with a generous shower cubicle, vanity basin, WC, and a heated towel rail—perfect for a comfortable and refreshing start or end to the day.

Managed by Eastlight Community Homes, this complex offers excellent amenities including guest facilities, a garden, and a communal lounge. Just 100 yards away, you’ll find essential services like a bus stop, local shops and cafés, a Tesco convenience store, post office, Boots pharmacy, and a GP practice. Nestled behind Quay Street along the scenic River Stour, this apartment combines the best of town and riverside living in an ideal retirement setting.
