1 bed flat for sale

Alpha Road, Cambridge CB4

A beautifully appointed and stylish ground-floor apartment, moments from the River Cam.

Situated in one of Cambridge’s most desirable locations and just a five-minute walk from the river, this charming one-bedroom apartment forms part of a converted period building and offers a perfect blend of character and modern convenience. Measuring just under 380 sq. Ft., it is ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers.

Accessed via a secure communal entrance with an intercom system, the apartment opens into a bright and elegant living space featuring high ceilings, original floorboards, and French doors that open directly onto the communal gardens. The recently refitted kitchen is well-designed with integrated appliances and solid wood worktops, offering a sleek and functional cooking space.

The double bedroom is light-filled and full of charm, with a pretty cast iron fireplace and fitted wardrobes. The modern bathroom has been stylishly refurbished, complete with a separate shower, contemporary tiling, and a heated towel rail.

Additional features include gas central heating, double glazing, and access to attractive communal gardens, mainly laid to lawn with a gravelled seating area—perfect for enjoying sunny afternoons.

The property is to be sold with no onwards chain. Residence permit parking is available for roughly £83 per year, payble to Castle East zone.

The area is an excellent location for those looking to make the most of the city centre lifestyle but is remarkably peaceful compared to the more densely populated parts of the city centre.

It is less than a quarter of a mile from the river, along historic Castle Street and Bridge Street and close to the iconic university views of The Backs.

There is local shopping, plus a major supermarket, nearby on Histon Road and the west university sites are within a mile.
