Set on the second floor of a handsome Edwardian townhouse, this one-bedroom apartment offers a bright, comfortable city home with genuine long-term security. The flat has a separate reception and kitchen, a double bedroom and a modern bathroom, all arranged across an efficient 512 sqft layout. A share of freehold and an exceptionally long 985-year lease remove common leasehold concerns. There is no onward chain, so completion can be straightforward.
The property benefits from high ceilings, period features such as a Victorian fireplace and good natural light, making the rooms feel larger than the square footage suggests. Practical positives include a communal garden, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus convenient transport with Finsbury Park station within a ten-minute walk.
Be aware of a few material points: the building has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs and longer-term improvement plans. Service charges are approximately £1,200 per year (£100 per month) and council tax sits at Band D. The immediate area shows higher levels of deprivation despite a lively, inner-city cosmopolitan character, so nearby streets vary in condition.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer wanting a period home in a well-connected north London pocket, or an investor seeking a low-management property with share-of-freehold tenure. It offers scope for cosmetic updating where desired, while the long lease and no chain provide buying certainty.
