Light-filled and contemporary, this second-floor two-bedroom apartment offers an open-plan living area and a south-facing balcony that extends the living space. At about 750 sq ft the layout feels generous for a city flat, with a modern fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms and large windows that bring in plenty of daylight. Off-street parking and communal gardens add practical outdoor and storage value.
The property is chain-free with a very long lease (992 years), making it straightforward to buy. It sits in a mixed student and professional neighbourhood close to local amenities and several highly ranked schools, attracting strong rental demand and owner-occupier interest alike.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of around £1,998. Heating is electric via room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas central heating. The local crime score is higher than average for the city — buyers should consider security measures and local crime data when viewing.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers looking for a move-in-ready city base or investors seeking a low-maintenance flat in a convenient Cambridge location. The combination of long lease, parking, balcony and communal outdoor space creates broad appeal, while the service charge and electric heating are clear ongoing costs to factor into affordability calculations.
