This one-bedroom apartment in Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, is part of a new shared ownership development. The property itself is modern and appears to be in good condition although some internal finishing work, notably flooring, remains incomplete. Images showcase a modern kitchen and bathroom, but the living areas are currently unfinished. The location is a plus point; Waterbeach offers a balance of rural tranquility and good transport links to Cambridge via the nearby train station. There is a good selection of schools within reasonable proximity. However, the lack of a private garden or outdoor space is a significant drawback, typical of apartments. The property is listed at £57,500, which is a 25% share. This falls in line with other shared ownership properties nearby, suggesting a reasonable price point. However, prospective buyers need to carefully consider the long-term financial implications of shared ownership and the fact that the remaining 75% share will need to be bought at a later date. The area itself is still developing and further community amenities may be added or developed in the years to come. Overall, it’s a suitable property for first-time buyers or those looking for a low-cost entry point to the Cambridge housing market; however, the lack of private outdoor space needs to be considered.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
