Description

- Best and finals - final offers by Monday 5th of August at 11:00 -
An extended and beautifully presented semi-detached home, located within walking distance of the Science Park, Cambridge North Train Station, and various local amenities. The property offers easy access to the City Centre, A14/M11, and regular bus services. The enhancements to the living space include an entrance hall, lounge, separate dining room, refitted kitchen, utility room, refitted shower room, and a ground-floor double bedroom. The first floor comprises three bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate W/C. Externally, the property boasts a block-paved driveway accommodating a large vehicle along with an EV charging point and a mature, well-presented rear garden with two fruit trees.
Cambridge has something for everyone with a diverse range of restaurants, shops, business and services from the small independent local companies on Mill Road to the global brand names in the grand arcade. The same can be said for the landmarks and attractions our city has to offer from the Fitzwilliam Museum and  vast collections of antiquities from Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, to punting on the River Cam under the mathematical bridge or strolling around Kings Chapel or the stunning Botanical Gardens. Cambridge is a fine place to live with some of the best schools in the country, both independent and public. Addenbrookes, the internationally renowned teaching hospital is here and the historic university speaks for itself. Additionally, with many of the major blue chip, biotechnological and pharmaceutical employers that are based here, it is hard to find a better place to call home.

  • 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.
