This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment on The Green, Winchmore Hill, offers a rare chain-free purchase in a handsome Tudor Revival block. The flat benefits from a generous reception room, a separate kitchen, an additional WC plus a bathroom — practical features for couples, small families or buy-to-let investors.
The property requires updating throughout, so it’s presented as a renovation opportunity rather than a move-in-ready home. With 784 sq ft of accommodation, rooms are average-sized; a thoughtful refurbishment could open up the plan and add contemporary finishes to increase value.
Practicalities are strong: share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (964 years), fast broadband speeds and pleasant communal lawn and paved driveway. Situated opposite local cafés, shops and restaurants and within easy walking distance of Winchmore Hill station, the location combines village-like high-street convenience with good transport links into central London.
Buyers should note the higher-than-average service charge (£2,300) and that the flat explicitly needs modernisation. These factors are offset by the long lease and chain-free status, making the property straightforward to buy and attractive to both first-time buyers seeking renovation potential and investors aiming to refurbish for rental income.
