Set in a converted riverside mill, this compact one-bedroom apartment offers direct, open river views from a desirable development close to Godmanchester town centre. The flat is well placed for daily travel, with the railway and bus stations within walking distance and private residents’ parking included.
At about 405 sq ft, the apartment is a realistic starter home or buy-to-let opportunity. The long lease and share of freehold remove many common leasehold concerns; the property is also offered chain-free for a quicker purchase. Communal riverside gardens add a tranquil outdoor space for residents.
Be clear on the trade-offs: the building is a period mill with solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, and heating is via electric storage heaters. These factors can mean higher running costs and potential improvement work if you want modern energy performance. The service charge (around £1,200 pa) should be budgeted for alongside the very low council tax.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor who values location, character and river views over generous internal space. With some updating and targeted improvements to heating and insulation, the flat has immediate lifestyle appeal and strong rental or resale potential in an affluent, low-crime area.
