Kingdon Avenue
East Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England
Reality check: At £279,250, this is a premium entry point. Strong 54% growth over 5 years supports the investment case. However, car dependency limits the tenant pool and long-term upside. Weak family and environment appeal narrows demand.
