Summary - 18 STANLEY COURT CAMBRIDGE CB5 8LW
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact two-bed flat near the River Cam — great starter home or city investment.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, practical lounge/diner layout
A compact, well-laid-out two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a quiet no-through road, a short walk from Newmarket Road and the River Cam. The lounge/diner and separate kitchen give practical living space for a first home or buy-to-let, while both bedrooms face the rear and receive natural light. An allocated off-street parking bay and plentiful visitor spaces add convenience in this central Cambridge setting.
The flat is leasehold with a very long lease (968 years) and a below-average service charge of around £800, helping running costs remain predictable. Heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators; the property benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Council tax is described as inexpensive, and there is no flood risk for this location.
Notable drawbacks are the apartment's compact overall size (approximately 506 sq ft) and the area's higher-than-average crime level, which may concern some buyers or renters. The block dates from the 1980s, so buyers should expect general maintenance rather than major overhaul; any specific repair history or recent upgrades would need to be confirmed in survey reports.
Ideal for first-time buyers seeking an affordable Cambridge entry point or investors targeting steady city lettings, this home offers immediate occupation with no onward chain. Its location provides easy access to city amenities, good local schools, hospital and employment hubs, and the cultural attractions that make Cambridge desirable.
