Light, well-arranged and chain-free, this one-bedroom apartment in Bailey House offers an accessible first step onto the Cambridge market. The open-plan living area opens onto a private balcony with wide south-facing views across Cambridge and the surrounding countryside — a rare city-fringe amenity for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
The layout is practical: entrance hall with storage, a contemporary fitted kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a modern three-piece bathroom. Allocated under-croft parking and secure bike storage add genuine convenience for commuters and students; Cambridge station is a short walk and Addenbrooke’s is about 12 minutes by car.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 102 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,362 and ground rent of £303. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which may affect running costs. The apartment is average-sized at about 505 sq ft and sits in a cosmopolitan, student-rich neighbourhood — lively and well-served but not a quiet suburban enclave.
Overall, the property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a city-centre foothold with good transport links, a private balcony and parking. It requires little immediate work cosmetically but the electric heating and leasehold charges are material factors to weigh into affordability and long-term plans.
