A bright, well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor flat in CB5, offering efficient open-plan living and a private allocated parking space. The apartment's contemporary U-shaped kitchen, integrated appliances and Karndean flooring create a low-maintenance interior well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Practicalities work in its favour: a very long 965-year lease, cheap council tax and fast broadband/mobile signal make the running costs predictable. The location provides excellent transport links to Cambridge city centre, the A14 and the mainline station, with supermarkets, leisure facilities and the Addenbrooke’s campus all within easy reach.
Considerations are straightforward and factual. The property is relatively small at about 478 sq ft and has electric storage heating rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs and heating performance. The apartment block shows some external maintenance needs and the surrounding area records higher crime levels, factors buyers should weigh when viewing.
Overall this flat suits a buyer seeking a low-upkeep starter home or an investor targeting strong local rental demand from students and professionals. The long lease and practical layout offer a stable base; prospective purchasers should budget for potential communal maintenance and review heating costs against personal needs.
