Summary - ALDER COURT FLAT 23 UNION LANE CAMBRIDGE CB4 1GX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Comfortable over‑60s flat with communal facilities and gated parking.
Ready-to-move-in, recently redecorated two-bedroom flat
Alder Court Flat 23 offers ready-to-move-in retirement living in Chesterton, freshly redecorated and chain free. The compact two-bedroom layout (about 551 sq ft) is practical and low-maintenance, with built-in storage and a modern shower room. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite and well-kept gardens for socialising and quiet afternoons.
Practical features suit downsizers who prioritise convenience: gated communal parking, an emergency 24-hour call system, secure entry and lift access. The flat has double glazing and electric storage heaters; heating runs on individual electricity rather than a communal system. Transport links are strong with local buses outside and Cambridge North station nearby, while shops and amenities are within easy walking distance.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold with about 102 years remaining and a high annual ground rent of £924. The apartment is relatively small, and the main heating is electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas. The area records above-average crime levels, so prospective buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
This home will suit an over-60s buyer seeking a comfortable, move-in-ready flat with communal support and close access to city amenities. It’s a practical, low-upkeep base for those who value location and community but should be assessed in light of running costs and leasehold charges.
