Summary - 8 WEDGEWOOD DRIVE CHERRY HINTON CAMBRIDGE CB1 9PQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Turn-key one-bed flat in Cherry Hinton — long lease, parking, current rental income.
Newly refurbished kitchen and bathroom with high-quality finishes
A newly refurbished one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Cherry Hinton, presented to a high standard and currently let until September 2025. The flat benefits from a recent kitchen and bathroom upgrade, Amtico flooring in wet areas, quality carpeting, double glazing and app-controlled electric heating. One allocated off-street parking space and a communal bike store add practical convenience for tenants or future owners.
For an investor this property generates a current rent of £1,350 pcm and will be sold with vacant possession after the existing tenancy ends. The long lease (965 years) and an annual service charge of £1,500 (includes water) reduce long-term title risk, while the property's location gives reliable tenant demand from commuters, hospital staff and students thanks to fast transport links and good broadband.
Buyers should note running costs and sustainability factors: heating is electric (room heaters/immersion) and the EPC is rated D (66), which may mean higher energy bills and potential future upgrade costs. The property is leasehold with an average service charge and is an average-sized one-bedroom (46 sqm / 493 sqft), so it may suit single professionals, couples or investors rather than families needing larger space.
Overall this is a low-management, city-edge opportunity with turn-key presentation, immediate income while let, and straightforward long-term ownership. Consider the EPC and electric heating when assessing yield versus likely voids and maintenance outlay.
