Summary - Candish Court N8 7FR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Shared ownership near Hornsey station with gated parking and balcony views.
40% shared ownership — first step on the ladder, not full ownership
A light-filled two-bedroom apartment offered as 40% shared ownership, ideal for first-time buyers looking to step onto the property ladder in Hornsey. The open-plan reception, modern kitchen and private balcony make the apartment feel larger than its footprint, and panoramic views include glimpses towards Alexandra Palace.
Practical features include gated allocated parking, a separate storage room and an EPC rating of B. The 116-year lease provides long-term security, and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal suit remote working. Local schools have Good Ofsted ratings, while Hornsey Overground and Turnpike Lane Underground are within walking distance for quick commutes.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with shared ownership (40%), which limits ownership share and may affect future staircasing and resale. Heating is supplied via a community scheme, so expect service charges and communal management costs. The flat is an average-sized, end-terrace block apartment — not a maisonette — and the surrounding neighbourhood has pockets of deprivation despite low local crime and a busy high street.
Overall, this apartment suits a buyer seeking an affordable route into a well-connected inner-city location with good schools, practical amenities and genuine scope to personalise a modern open-plan layout. It’s a pragmatic, value-led opportunity rather than a hands-off investment; check service charge details and shared-ownership terms before committing.
