Set on the first floor of a quiet late-20th-century development off Hoe Lane, this compact one-bedroom apartment suits a budget-conscious first-time buyer seeking a short commute into central London. Turkey Street station is about 0.9 miles away, with journey times to Liverpool Street around 35 minutes, and local shops and services in Enfield Town are within easy reach.
The apartment offers a practical layout with a 14ft reception, 11ft fitted kitchen and a 12ft double bedroom. Double glazing and electric storage heating keep the interior straightforward to maintain, while communal grounds and free resident parking add everyday convenience for a car owner.
Important to note: the flat is leasehold with approximately 83–84 years remaining. That length will restrict mortgage options and means a lease extension will be required in the near term. Service charge and ground rent are moderate (circa £1,200 and £180 annually) and should be factored into holding costs. The property is in an area with higher crime and significant local deprivation, which may affect resale and rental demand.
Overall, this is a compact, well-located flat with immediate commuter appeal and clear value for someone prepared to manage the lease extension and accept electric heating. It’s a practical entry-point into the area for owner-occupiers or buy-to-let buyers who budget for the known costs and local challenges.
