A compact one-bedroom back-to-back house in a sought-after Petersfield cul-de-sac, minutes from Cambridge city centre and the mainline station. The layout is split over ground, first and mezzanine levels, giving a surprising sense of space for the footprint: an open-plan kitchen/living room, a vaulted first-floor bedroom with rooflight and a small mezzanine ideal for occasional sleeping or storage. Low-maintenance paved garden and an allocated parking space add practical appeal for city living.
This property is particularly well suited to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. Estimated rental is around £1,200–£1,300 PCM, and the freehold, chain-free status simplifies purchase. Nearby planned commercial and science hub developments increase local demand and long-term rental prospects.
Buyers should note the small overall size (approx. 348 sq ft) and the back-to-back terraced form. Heating and hot water run on Economy 7 electric storage, which can be more expensive and requires off-peak management. The mezzanine is accessed by a ladder-style staircase and is only suitable for occasional use or storage. The location reports higher-than-average local crime, so security and insurance considerations are relevant.
In short: compact, well-located, and low-maintenance with clear rental potential, but limited internal space, electric heating, and some local safety considerations to factor into any decision.
