Property Oracle says ..
Croft Lodge, Barton Road, Cambridge, CB3 9JZ is a two bedroom apartment with one bathroom. The property is situated in Newnham, a desirable area of Cambridge. The apartment is in a brick building and benefits from a small, manageable garden. The interior appears clean and well-maintained, although the furnishings are dated and the decor is somewhat traditional. The kitchen includes integrated appliances. The property is conveniently located within a reasonable distance of Cambridge city centre and benefits from being close to Newnham Croft Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). Several other schools are also within a reasonable distance. Public transport links are also accessible, with Cambridge train station approximately 3.40km away.
The list price of £455,000 is significantly below the average price for the area (£560,989), however, it is important to note that the average property size in the area is considerably larger (2,048 sqft) compared to the 621.83 sqft of Croft Lodge. The average price per sqft in the area is £273.00, which makes the list price for Croft Lodge appear reasonable, particularly considering its location and proximity to amenities. However, without further information on the specifics of comparable properties, it is difficult to definitively assess the value for money.
The property’s condition appears good, based on the images provided. There is no visible evidence of significant damage or disrepair. While the decor and furnishings are traditional, the property seems well-maintained and ready to occupy. The small garden is a positive feature.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
