About
A share-of-freehold maisonette with a garage and a south-facing terrace, situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac less than half a mile from Shelford Station, available with the benefit of no onward chain.
This 1970's first-floor maisonette has served as a rental property for almost 27 years.
The freehold was purchased by our vendor in 2007, and whilst buildings insurance is shared with the neighbouring property, there is no ground rent or service charges to consider.

There are 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom which has been fitted with a modern white suite.
Outside the front of the property has an open-plan south-facing terrace which is shared with the neighbouring property.
There is a garage en-bloc, residents car park and a shared pathway with the adjoining ground-floor maisonette to the entrance.

There is also a sought after primary school, health centre, dentist and great sporting facilities within the recreation ground.
The village is ideally placed for access to both Cambridge and London with excellent road connections, local bus services and a mainline railway station with trains from Cambridge to London Liverpool Street.
