A smart ground-floor corner flat presented chain-free and conveniently placed for the guided busway into Cambridge. The layout suits a single occupant or couple: a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, living/dining room, practical kitchen and a shower room. An allocated parking space sits directly outside for easy access.
The flat has recent improvements including a new electric oven (July 2024) and a German Economiser electric radiator in the living room. The property benefits from a private feel on the corner of the close and direct access to a south-facing communal garden via the bedroom door. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor — rent is expected around £1,000 pcm. Ownership is leasehold with approximately 117 years remaining; annual costs include a service charge of £510 and ground rent of £200. Heating is electric storage/radiators, so energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the overall size is small (approximately 339 sq ft) and the home uses electricity for primary heating. Council Tax Band B (£1,807.01 for 2025) applies. These facts make the flat an economical, low-maintenance entry into the Cambridge market or a compact rental unit with predictable running costs.
