Key information
Property description & features
A mixed-use redevelopment opportunity, with a submitted application for alterations and extensions to 185-189 Newmarket Road & 1 Godesdone Road, to deliver a proposed scheme comprising ground floor retail space and 12no. 1 bed apartments, along with associated infrastructure and cycle parking. The site offers an attractive opportunity to refurbish, reconfigure and extend an existing site in order to increase the income from which the site already benefits.
THE SITE
The site extends to approximately 0.12 acres and currently comprises two retail units, three residential units and workshops laid around a small courtyard to the rear. There is a passing rent from the existing tenants of £56,740 per annum. The site is accessed between the retail unit at 185-189 Newmarket Road and 1 Godesdone Road, under a canopy. The completed scheme will comprise a 1,237 sq ft retail unit on the ground floor, with 5,575 sq ft of residential accommodation plus ancillary space. The proposals retain most of the courtyard space and seek to improve the layout to provide shared amenity space.
LOCATION
The site is conveniently located along Newmarket Road, the eastern link road into Cambridge city centre, providing excellent access to the A14 and M11. The site is located within the Central Conservation Area; Godesdone Road is predominantly residential in character, while Newmarket Road is host to a number of commercial and residential buildings. Newmarket Road has undergone a period of regeneration with a number of developments taking place over the last few years, including a new Easy Hotel opposite the subject site. There are a number of local amenities nearby, including the Beehive Centre, Cambridge Retail Park, the Grafton Centre as well as a number of independent shops and restaurants. The historic Cambridge city centre is just a short walk from the site, as well as the River Cam and city parks. Cambridge Train Station is 1.2 miles from the site, with regular services to Kings Cross / St Pancras International, London Liverpool Street, Stansted Airport and the Midlands.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
