The apartment is suited to downsizers seeking peaceful outlooks and convenient transport links to Cambridge and London. It benefits from double glazing, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, an EPC rating of C, and ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for staying connected.
The flat requires updating and improvement throughout, presenting clear potential to personalise interiors and add value. Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement development with an annual service charge of £3,298.44 and an approximate ground charge included in that figure.
