Practical city flat with low running costs and strong transport links.
Chain-free, available now with allocated parking
Set on the first floor with an allocated parking space and offered chain-free, this one-bedroom flat suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking immediate availability and low running costs. The accommodation includes a large double bedroom, separate living/dining room, kitchen with utility area and a family bathroom across a practical 49.5 sq.m. layout. The lease has 88 years remaining; ground rent is nominal at £10 per year and the service charge is a modest £480 annually.
The property benefits from excellent transport links, fast broadband and strong mobile signal, making it convenient for commuting and letting. Local amenities, community facilities and several 'Good' rated schools are nearby, while the flat’s straightforward layout and parking add everyday convenience. Council tax is low and the service charge is below average, which helps running costs.
Buyers should note the building sits in an area with above-average crime statistics and higher local deprivation; the communal grounds and private outdoor space are limited. The kitchen is functional but dated and would benefit from modernization to raise comfort and rental value. The remaining lease term (88 years) is workable but should be reviewed if planning long-term ownership or mortgage lending requirements.
Overall this compact flat presents a practical, affordable entry into Cambridge property ownership or a reasonably priced rental opportunity. It’s best suited to someone prioritising location, low initial outlay and straightforward maintenance, and who is comfortable with a modest-sized urban flat requiring light updating for longer-term uplift.
