Bright two-bedroom maisonette arranged over the first and second floors of a 1960s estate, a short walk from Euston and King’s Cross. The apartment feels larger than average thanks to generous ceiling glazing, oak floorboards and a continuous layout that lets light flow from east to west. An east-facing decked balcony overlooks treetops and the communal garden, useful private outdoor space in a central location.
The kitchen is neatly fitted with integrated appliances and room for dining; living areas are simply finished with playful dual-tone paint that brings character without heavy refurbishment. The principal bedroom benefits from sizeable glazing and built-in storage; the second bedroom also has integrated wardrobes. The single shower room is serviceable and tiled in neutral colours.
Practical details: the property is leasehold with 96 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £3,000 per annum (including heating, hot water and gas) and a small ground rent. Heating and hot water are provided via a community scheme. Secondary glazing is fitted and walls are likely cavity construction with no added insulation (assumed), which may mean further improvement works if higher energy efficiency is required.
The location is a major selling point — immediate access to national and international rail links, excellent broadband and mobile signal, plentiful cafés, restaurants and cultural destinations nearby. Note the wider neighbourhood records higher crime levels and the area is classified as deprived, factors to consider for families and long-term buyers. Overall, the apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting central connectivity, light-filled living and straightforward, mid-century character with some running costs to budget for.
