Summary - AMBLECOTE FLAT 4 EAST ROAD CAMBRIDGE CB1 1BN
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Short walk to Grafton Centre and Cambridge station, strong rental demand.
686 sq ft two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette
A two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette in a central Cambridge location, this 686 sq ft home is a straightforward investment or first-refurb project. It sits just behind East Road, a short walk to the Grafton Centre and local amenities, with Cambridge Central station a short cycle away — convenient for commuters and strong rental demand in the area.
The flat requires renovation throughout, offering scope to improve layout, finishes and heating/fixtures to add value. Current accommodation is traditional in layout: entrance hall, kitchen, large living room with balcony doors, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, and the local area records higher crime levels, which can affect resale and lettings. On the positive side broadband and mobile signal are strong, mains gas central heating serves the property, and there is communal parking outside the mid-20th-century block.
This is best suited to investors targeting a 5% yield with refurbishment upside, or buyers willing to undertake works to create a comfortable city-base close to shops, transport and university facilities. Be aware of the renovation costs, lease length and local crime statistics when assessing value.
