Make history with an affordable home at Stoke Quay

Stoke Quay

Boasting stunning vistas overlooking the peaceful River Orwell marina, Genesis presents history lovers with the chance to buy a rare modern home in a historical setting at its brand new development Stoke Quay. Offering an exciting collection of brand new one and two bedroom apartments, Genesis is bringing Ipswich right up to date.

The waterfront homes are surrounded by an abundance of history, with records dating as far back as the 7th century, including a Viking invasion during the 10th century. Once one of the biggest docks in Europe, the River Orwell is now home to the largest regeneration project in the East of England, with over a billion pounds spent or earmarked for future development . Stoke Quay offers purchasers an affordable home next to extensive history, as the apartments are available with shared ownership.

The shared ownership scheme means that buyers can purchase between 25% and 75% of the property, paying subsidised rent on the remainder, and can increase their share at any time, all the way to 100% and outright ownership. The scheme is specifically designed for first time buyers whose household income is less than £60,000 a year and priority will be given to those who live or work in Ipswich.

Anthony Harker, Head of Commercial at Genesis says “We are proud to offer affordable living in an area of regeneration overlooking the historic River Orwell. Stoke Quay is a perfect chance to live alongside this, and to enjoy the vast history of the marina. The development is also located nearby to local attractions, extensive retail and leisure facilities, making it great for busy modern lifestyles.”

Currently available at Stoke Quay are a selection of one and two bedroom apartments designed to a contemporary specification. Spacious living spaces boast balconies to most apartments, many of which enjoy riverside views. Kitchens in all properties boast fitted units including integrated appliances such as an oven/hob and washing machine. Parking, pram and bike storage is also available at Stoke Quay providing all the essentials for modern living.

The docks will soon be home to bustling residential and commercial areas, and already have a plethora of restaurants and bars within easy reach. Without spoiling the historical nature of the riverside there is lots to keep residents entertained in Ipswich, with its three theatres and high street that boasts an extensive range of retail shops. Hollywells and Gippeswyk Parks are also close by for those who like the great outdoors.

For commuters, Stoke Quay is just a 13 minute walk to Ipswich train station, from where regular services take residents to London, Cambridge and Peterborough in just over an hour, Norwich in 43 minutes and Felixstowe in 26 minutes. Ipswich lies close to two major roads, the A14 and A12 with access to the M25 for journeys further afield. Stansted Airport is also only an hour away by car.
