Summary - 50 ASH GROVE BURWELL CAMBRIDGE CB25 0DS
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Modest one-bedroom retirement apartment with communal gardens and on-site support.
Residents' lounge, communal laundry and two guest suites available
This one-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment sits in a purpose-built development in Burwell, a short drive from Newmarket and within easy reach of Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds. The sitting room faces well-kept communal lawns and landscaped gardens, offering a pleasant outlook and low-maintenance living for someone looking to downsize. The development provides on-site support with a Development Manager, residents' lounge, communal laundry, two guest suites and a 24-hour Appello emergency response.
The apartment is modest in size (approximately 453 sq ft) with a separate fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The block was built in 1988 and appears maintained with traditional finishes; double glazing is present (installation date unknown). Heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Buyers should note an important practical issue: the lease has around 61–62 years remaining. This limited term is likely to restrict mortgage availability and could affect value and resale. The service charge is approximately £3,082.82 per year and ground rent £166, which supports communal services and on-site staff but adds to ongoing costs. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, while mobile signal is excellent.
Overall, this apartment will suit an over-55 purchaser seeking a low‑maintenance home with communal support and pleasant gardens in a prosperous, village setting. It offers clear conveniences and community facilities, but the short lease and electric heating are material factors to weigh before viewing or making an offer.
