Ideal first home or buy-to-let close to Midsummer Common and the city centre.
Large living room providing generous reception space
Set on the ground floor of a well-kept 1980s development, this one-bedroom flat sits a short walk from the River Cam, Midsummer Common and Cambridge city centre. It offers a large living room, refitted kitchen and secure gated parking — useful in this central location. The property is offered with no onward chain and a very long lease, simplifying purchase for a first‑time buyer or investor.
Internally the layout is compact but practical: a generous reception room dominates the plan, complemented by a double bedroom, refitted kitchen and bathroom. Double glazing and wall-mounted electric heaters provide basic insulation and convenience, though heating runs on electricity rather than gas. The communal grounds are well tended and the development benefits from remote‑controlled gated access to an allocated parking space.
Buyers should note a medium flood risk for the area and that the flat relies on electric heating and room heaters, which can be more expensive than mains gas. The service charge is £2,600 per year (paid in two instalments), and there is no ground rent; the lease is very long and the flat is held as share of freehold. Overall condition appears good and the location makes this property particularly attractive to first‑time buyers and buy‑to‑let investors seeking central Cambridge convenience.
