A well maintained first floor maisonette with superb panoramic views over Ditton Meadows to the River Cam. The property is well positioned for access to Cambridge North Railway station and benefits from a private enclosed rear garden. Viewing is strongly recommended.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Howard Close, Abbey, Cambridge, which is a residential area. Based on the provided information, the property is a 2-bedroom house with 1 bathroom and a relatively small plot size of 0.00 sqft. The property benefits from a garden, which overlooks open fields. The garden appears to be in need of some maintenance. The interior of the property shows the property to be in a generally livable condition, though some areas could benefit from modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom appear dated, while the living areas are adequately furnished. The overall condition is acceptable but not exceptional. The property’s proximity to Cambridge North station (0.86 km) is a positive aspect, offering convenient access to public transport. The presence of several schools within a reasonable distance (less than 1.5 km) further enhances its appeal to families. The list price of £300,000 is slightly below the average price of £340,786 for the area, but significantly lower than comparable properties in the area. Considering the property’s size (565.11 sqft), age, and condition, the price may represent reasonable value, particularly given its location and access to amenities. However, the lack of information on the size of comparable properties makes a definitive assessment challenging. The average price per sqft in the area is £380, while the price per sqft for this property is approximately £530. This suggests that the property may be slightly overpriced compared to the average for the area, but this needs to be considered in context with the other factors.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
