This first-floor one-bedroom flat on Hills Road delivers genuine period character in a central Cambridge address. High ceilings, sash windows and original wood flooring give the living room a bright, spacious feel uncommon for a compact city flat. An allocated off-street parking space at the front is a useful practical benefit in this location.
The accommodation is small (approx. 368 sq ft) but well arranged: a generous double bedroom with built-in shelving, a compact fitted kitchen and a shower room. The property forms part of a Victorian terrace with shared cellar access and a raised front forecourt. There is potential for a loft conversion, subject to planning consent, which could increase space and value.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, walls are original solid brick (assumed uninsulated), and there are occasional references to potential damp risk in period properties of this type. There is no private garden and internal space is limited, so the flat suits a single occupant, commuter, or investor rather than a family needing lots of storage or outdoor space.
Tenure and running-cost facts are straightforward: share of freehold with a very long lease (999 years from 2009) and no ground rent; building expenses are split 50/50. Council tax is low and broadband and mobile signal are reported as strong—advantages for professionals and students wanting reliable connectivity close to the city centre and station.
