Light-filled third-floor apartment overlooking Parker’s Piece, offered chain-free and ready to occupy. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows, engineered wood flooring and integrated appliances, while the double bedroom includes built-in storage. Practical extras include underfloor heating, an air recirculation system and an EPC rating of B (82).
Practical city-living features make this a convenient base: undercroft allocated parking, communal bike stores, a seven-day concierge and quick walking access to the railway station, Grand Arcade and local sports and leisure facilities. The long lease (circa 983 years) provides ownership security uncommon for many city apartments.
Buyers should note the above-average service charge (£4,272pa) and ground rent (£350pa). The building sits in a student-communal neighbourhood and the wider area records very high crime figures — factors that may affect rental demand, insurance or long-term desirability for some purchasers. Tenure is leasehold.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking a low-maintenance, contemporary city home or an investor targeting central Cambridge lettings; its location, secure parking and building services are clear positives, while the service costs and local area profile are important to weigh up before committing.
