This chain-free, first-floor apartment at Mansfield Heights offers a well-proportioned two-bedroom layout (approx. 688 sq ft) suited to first-time buyers or couples. The reception room receives good natural light and the property benefits from recent double glazing and building-wide safety and electrical upgrades.
Residents enjoy extensive, well-kept communal gardens and off-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis. The block has had improved lighting, new intercoms, upgraded common-area windows, flat entrance doors, and enhanced fire and smoke alarms. Planned communal improvements include a courtyard with extra parking, secure cycle storage, and a covered segregated refuse area.
Practical positives include share of freehold tenure with 98 years remaining, mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and easy access to East Finchley Northern line station plus local shops, cafes and strong local schools. The area is very affluent with an inner-city cosmopolitan character.
Considerations: the apartment pays a service charge (average £1,628) and has moderate council tax. Parking is limited and not allocated. The block dates from the 1950s–60s, so while communal upgrades have been carried out, internal finishes may be conventional rather than high-spec and buyers should allow for potential cosmetic updating to personalise the flat.
