The open-plan living space, modern fitted kitchen and private balcony create a bright, practical home for everyday city living. Built in 2009 with double glazing and gas central heating, the property feels contemporary and low-maintenance.
Practical extras include an allocated parking space, lockable communal bicycle storage and generous built-in storage — useful for commuters and sharers. Transport links are a major selling point: the Guided Busway provides frequent services to Cambridge city centre and the Science Park, while Cambridge North and Cambridge stations are within easy reach for longer commutes.
Key running costs are straightforward but material: the lease has 108 years remaining, ground rent is £200 per year and the service charge is approximately £1,800–£2,160 per year (£180 pcm stated). The apartment sits in an area with above-average crime levels, so buyers should factor local safety measures into their decision and any insurance costs.
Overall, this realistically priced flat combines sensible running costs, modern fittings and excellent transport links — a practical first purchase or rental investment in a well-connected Cambridge neighbourhood. The layout and condition minimise immediate work, but the leasehold terms and community crime levels are important considerations before committing.
