This newly renovated two-bedroom duplex maisonette occupies the ground and first floors of a low-rise 1970s block, offering a move-in ready home in central Cambridge. Light, neutral interiors, a modern kitchen and stylish bathroom combine with built-in storage to create practical, comfortable accommodation across two floors.
Outdoor space is a strong selling point: a private rear garden landscaped with patio, artificial lawn and pergola, plus access to a larger communal green. The location is very convenient — half a mile from the city centre, close to Mill Road’s shops and eateries, and within easy walking distance of Cambridge Central station.
Practical details: the property is leasehold with about 91 years remaining on the original 99-year lease. Ground rent is a nominal £10 per year; the annual service charge is approximately £808 and the building is managed by Cambridge City Council. A contribution is currently outstanding for roof works completed in April 2024.
This home will suit first-time buyers and investors seeking central, low-maintenance living with good transport links and nearby amenities. Note the higher local crime rate and the limited lease length compared with freehold homes — both important when assessing long-term plans or mortgage options.
