Summary - 21A HAMILTON ROAD CAMBRIDGE CB4 1BP
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Ideal first-home near river, shops and fast transport links.
Long lease (999 years from 2006; c.980 years remaining)
Set within a purpose-built low-rise block on leafy Hamilton Road, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers a practical, well-located entry into Cambridge. The long lease (999 years from 2006, c.980 years remaining) and share of freehold remove common leasehold headaches; there is no ground rent and service charges are modest at about £1,500 per year.
The apartment is compact (approximately 487 sq ft) but well presented, with a refreshed kitchen, double glazing, gas central heating and useful hallway storage. It includes an allocated off-street parking space and access to a communal garden — convenient extras in this part of the city. Broadband is fast (full fibre up to 1Gbps) and transport links make central Cambridge and the station easily reachable.
Buyers should note the flat’s limited overall size and single bathroom, which may suit first-time buyers or professionals but be tight for families. The EPC rating is D and the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, so future buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and possible energy improvements. The location is in a cosmopolitan, student-orientated neighbourhood, which brings local amenities and a lively atmosphere but can mean higher footfall and occasional noise.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance Cambridge flat with long-term security from the long lease and share of freehold.
