A compact, well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a peaceful St Ives development. The layout is practical, with a modern kitchen/breakfast room, bright living space and two usable bedrooms — a sensible first home or straightforward buy-to-let with an estimated rental income of around £1,000 pcm.
Practical benefits include an allocated parking space, visitor parking, communal gardens and quick access to the Guided Busway and A14 for Cambridge commuters. New electric heating was installed in early 2022 and the property has double glazing, keeping running costs and maintenance low.
There are important lease considerations: 85 years remain and the lease will require renewal sooner rather than later, which may add cost and complexity to mortgage or purchase. The property is electric-heated (room heaters) rather than gas, and the overall internal size is modest at about 501 sq ft — buyers seeking larger family accommodation should note the space limits.
Service charge and ground rent are modest (£965pa and £120pa respectively), and the property is offered chain free. For first-time buyers or investors wanting a low-maintenance entry into St Ives, this apartment offers good location and broadly affordable running costs, provided the lease length is agreed and budgeted for.
