Chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached cottage in town centre
Allocated off-street parking space included
Short walk to Guided Bus for Cambridge commuters
Modern kitchen/diner; double-glazed windows (post-2002)
Very small plot — no garden or outdoor living space
Solid brick walls; likely no cavity insulation (may need upgrading)
Low annual road maintenance charge ~£300; freehold tenure
Local crime levels higher than average — factor in security
This chain-free, two-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits in the heart of St Ives, moments from shops and the Guided Bus stop for direct links to Cambridge. The accommodation is practical and well-presented, with a contemporary kitchen/diner, a comfortable lounge and two first-floor bedrooms — a straightforward home for a first-time buyer or commuter.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space and low annual maintenance charge of about £300 for road upkeep. The property is freehold and energy-rated D/57, heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. The glazing was updated after 2002, helping with warmth and noise reduction.
Notable limitations: the plot is very small with no meaningful garden space, and the building appears to have solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation (possible future insulation work). The area records higher crime levels than average, which may concern some buyers. Buyers should verify maintenance charge details and other disclosures with their solicitor.
Overall this is a compact, town-centre home offering commuter convenience and low running costs, best suited to first-time buyers or those wanting a low-maintenance base close to Cambridge transport links.
