Set across split-level fourth and fifth floors, this two-bedroom apartment offers a bright, modern interior in the heart of Camden Town. At about 666 sq ft the flat has a separate kitchen, a spacious reception and a private balcony off the second bedroom — useful for fresh air and street views. The décor is neutral and move-in ready for buyers wanting immediate occupancy or easy rental appeal.
Practical details are straightforward: double glazing was installed after 2002, the lease has around 103 years remaining and ground rent is low at £10. Heating is provided via a mains gas community scheme, which simplifies maintenance but can limit individual control and may affect costs. The building dates from the early 20th century and appears to have solid brick walls with no built-in insulation, so buyers should factor possible energy-efficiency upgrades into budgets.
Location is the apartment’s strongest selling point. You are moments from Camden’s shops, bars and eateries, with Regent’s Park and strong transport links (Camden Town, Mornington Crescent) nearby. There are several well-regarded schools within reach, and plentiful local amenities. That central position suits first-time buyers seeking lifestyle and rental demand.
Buyers should note some material negatives: the surrounding area records very high crime and is described as deprived, which may affect long-term resale and rental yields. The layout is split-level, so it may not suit those needing step-free access. There is a single bathroom for two double bedrooms, and the community heating arrangement limits bespoke heating control.
