A compact two-bedroom first-floor apartment in The Brambles, offering a practical entry into St Ives living or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. The flat is set in well-kept grounds with off-street parking and good commuter links to Cambridge and Huntingdon, making day-to-day travel simple.
Accommodation is sensibly planned with a lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The kitchen and finishes date from around the 1980s and will suit a buyer happy to update for modern comfort and energy efficiency. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas alternatives.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with 59 years remaining and annual charges (service charge approx. £1,400 and ground rent £105). Mortgage lenders can be cautious with shorter leases, so buyers should verify finance options early. The apartment is offered with no forward chain, enabling a quicker purchase for a buyer who has confirmed funding.
This is a small 506 sq ft home that will suit first-time buyers seeking affordability close to local amenities, or investors looking for a manageable rental. Verify lease details with your solicitor and factor in potential upgrade costs to the kitchen, heating and insulation if planning longer-term ownership.
