Summary - Top Flat, 171 Victoria Road CB4 3BU
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Perfect entry-level home or rental in central Cambridge, chain-free.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment, approximately 521 sq ft
Top Flat, 171 Victoria Road is a one-bedroom top-floor apartment in a converted Victorian terrace, offered with no onward chain and a long lease (c.985 years). The apartment totals about 521 sq ft and combines period character—three large sash windows and bay exterior—with recent practical upgrades: an oak kitchen with integrated Neff appliances and a re-fitted bathroom with a Worcester Bosch combi boiler. Council tax is very low and the property sits in a very affluent area with fast broadband and good local amenities.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer wanting a compact, well-located home or an investor seeking a straightforward let in a students-and-professionals neighbourhood. The location offers easy access to central Cambridge attractions, shops and regular bus links, and nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding. Share of freehold ownership and the very long lease reduce tenure risk.
Buyers should note the apartment is top-floor and accessed by stairs, which may limit suitability for those with mobility needs. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so there is potential for future thermal improvement works; the EPC is rated D. The small rear garden and front wall need some modernisation. Overall this is a practical, characterful one-bedroom with good rental and owner-occupier appeal, priced for the area and ready for immediate move-in or straightforward letting.
