The open-plan kitchen/lounge benefits from floor-to-ceiling glazing and integrated appliances, creating a bright social area for everyday life or entertaining.
Both bedrooms are large doubles; the principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room while a separate family bathroom serves the second bedroom. The property is offered as 50% shared ownership (rent on the remaining share £658.98 pcm) or available to buy outright, making it a realistic route onto the Cambridge market for first‑time buyers.
Practical details are straightforward: EPC rating B, 117 years remaining on the lease, and community heating. The apartment sits within walking or cycling distance of the city centre, Cambridge station and nearby business parks, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — well suited to students and professionals who commute or work from home.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the tenure is leasehold with shared‑ownership implications, and heating runs via a community scheme which affects control and costs. The local area records higher crime levels than average, which may be a consideration for some purchasers despite the convenient urban location.
