Summary - 21 CHESTNUT DRIVE SOHAM ELY CB7 5FW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free one-bed with long lease, parking and easy links to Ely.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, 431 sq ft (39.9 m²)
A compact, well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor flat in Soham, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation. The long lease (965 years remaining) removes common leasehold concerns and the property includes an allocated off-street parking space and communal gardens. Monthly service charges are around £158 and the property is council-tax very cheap.
At about 431 sq ft (39.9 m²), the flat makes efficient use of space with an open-plan living/kitchen area, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a three-piece bathroom. Electric heaters are installed and the kitchen provides standard appliance spaces — suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance home in a small market town.
Location is a practical strength: Soham’s town centre amenities are close by, a newly opened railway station links to Ely and beyond, and the area is described as very affluent with low crime and fast broadband. Neighbouring schools include an outstanding secondary (Soham Village College) and other local primaries.
Considerations: the accommodation is small and best suited to a single occupant or couple; it’s a ground-floor flat within a communal block (shared entrance and communal areas). Heating is electric rather than gas, and the service charge applies for upkeep of communal spaces. These are factual trade-offs against the property’s low price and long lease.
