This chain-free, ground-floor three-bedroom apartment in Trumpington is aimed at first-time buyers seeking an affordable route into Cambridge. The bright, open-plan living and kitchen space opens onto a private patio, while a second terrace is accessed from the second bedroom — two easy outdoor spaces for low-maintenance city living. The master bedroom includes a full-height wardrobe and an ensuite shower, and the layout provides a practical third room for a nursery, office, or guest room.
The home is offered on a 40% shared ownership basis (qualifying criteria apply) with opportunity to staircase to 100% ownership. Monthly costs include a rent element of £793.34, a monthly lease management fee of £26.23 and an annual service charge of £1,900.92. There is no ground rent and 119 years remain on the lease.
Practical conveniences include an allocated undercover parking space, secure bike store, gas central heating and an EPC rating of B. The location benefits commuters and healthcare staff: Addenbrooke’s Hospital is about 1.1 miles away, central Cambridge is around 2.8 miles, and Cambridge South station is under a mile, improving future rail options. Local primary and secondary schools are within walking distance.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold shared-ownership unit so ongoing rent and service charge apply, and the property is listed with a medium flood risk. There are no specific accessibility adaptations. Prospective buyers should confirm qualifying criteria for shared ownership and budget for the stated service charge and monthly rent when calculating affordability.
