Summary - Flat 8 Whichcote House, Springfield Road CB4 1HY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance city flat with parking and garden access, close to transport links.
One double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and modern shower room
This well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Chesterton offers compact, low-maintenance city living ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. Set on the second floor, the apartment has an open-plan living/kitchen area with fitted units and good natural light, a modern shower room and a double bedroom with fitted storage. The long lease (992 years) and chain-free sale reduce purchase friction and make financing straightforward.
Practical extras include off-street parking and access to a communal garden—useful in an urban setting where private outdoor space is limited. The apartment is finished to a contemporary standard and requires no immediate redecoration, lowering short-term upkeep and tenant-ready potential for investors.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approximately 377 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than families. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives; check running costs. The property sits in an area with good transport links but above-average local crime, so consider location suitability and security measures.
Service charge and costs: the current service charge is about £99–£100 per month (circa £1,188 pa reported), and council tax is described as affordable. The long lease and modern condition are strong positives, balanced by the compact size and electric heating.
