Description

*MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO TO FULLY APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY*
Abbeyfield Girton Green is an exclusive over-55s development designed for independent living, but with the sort of facilities, security and community feel more commonly associated with a hotel or cruise ship than a standard apartment block. This highly regarded development of 76 apartments offers residents the freedom to enjoy their independence, whilst having excellent facilities, social opportunities and additional support available if ever required.
Flat 74 enjoys a particularly desirable position within the development, benefitting from a quiet sunny south-facing corner aspect with lovely views overlooking the communal gardens. Accessed via lift to the second floor, the apartment is approached through a bright and spacious corridor leading to the front door.
The entrance hallway provides three generous storage cupboards along with a separate cloakroom WC and wash basin. The spacious double bedroom features a built-in wardrobe alongside full-height glazed doors opening directly onto the balcony, flooding the room with natural light. A beautifully presented en-suite wet room includes a shower, WC and wash basin.
The living and dining area is bright and spacious with double aspect windows and direct access onto the balcony, creating an airy feel throughout whilst making the most of the attractive garden outlook. The kitchen sits directly off the living area and is exceptionally well equipped with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine, eye-level double oven, separate electric hob, fridge freezer and generous cupboard space including a floor-to-ceiling pull-out storage unit.
Abbeyfield offers an outstanding range of facilities and services tailored towards secure, comfortable and sociable living. Residents can participate in as much or as little as they wish, with a welcoming community atmosphere throughout. Facilities include:
- Resident gym.
- Hairdresser and beautician on site.
- Private cinema hosting film nights, jazz club events and communal sports screenings.
- Large restaurant and dining area with freshly prepared meals, including popular Friday fish and chip evenings.
- Beautiful communal gardens and seating areas.
- Daily coffee mornings and communal social spaces.
- Free weekly exercise classes and clubs ran by Abbeyfield.
- Various activity clubs organised by residents, including book club, card groups and writing club.

- Weekly shopping trips to supermarkets and Cambridge city centre.
- Guest suite accommodation available for visiting friends and family.
- Ample resident and visitor parking.
- Weekly apartment cleaning and heating included within the service charge.
There is also an active residents committee organising regular events including quiz nights, Christmas lunches and cheese and wine evenings, helping create a genuinely friendly and social environment.

Gross yield 10.5%
Cost-to-rent ratio 9.5×
Monthly cashflow £630/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term

  • Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
  • Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
  • ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
