Compact refurbishment project with excellent links to Cambridge North and Science Park.
Chain-free first-floor studio, 312 sq ft, open-plan layout
A first-floor studio in Robert Jennings Close offered chain-free and ready for refurbishment — ideal for a buy-to-let or value-add project close to Cambridge’s employment hubs. The open-plan layout with a Juliet balcony lets in natural light and provides a straightforward conversion to a modern studio rental. Its 312 sq ft footprint is compact but workable for a single occupant or professional tenant.
The location is a genuine strength: walking or cycling distance to Cambridge North Station and direct access to the Science & Business Park make this property attractive to commuters and researchers. On-site off-street residential parking and good broadband and mobile signal strengthen rental appeal. Nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good, and local amenities include bus links, shops and leisure facilities.
Be clear about the work required: the flat needs full refurbishment, including kitchen and bathroom updates; there is visible ceiling/plaster damage that will need repairing. The tenure is leasehold and the annual service charge is substantial (£3,456 average), which will affect running costs and yield calculations. The surrounding ward is classified as deprived and records above-average crime, which may influence tenant demand and rental levels.
For an investor with refurbishment experience, this is a straightforward conversion to a contemporary studio close to major employers. For a first-time buyer willing to renovate, it offers an affordable entry into Cambridge property — provided the service charge and local area factors are accepted and budgeted for.
