This ground-floor studio in Oakley Square offers a compact, bright living space with a separated modern kitchen and built-in storage. At about 403 sq ft it suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a central Camden base with immediate access to Mornington Crescent station and local amenities.
The block is well maintained and benefits from a concierge service and double glazing; the property is sold as a share of freehold. Service charge and ground rent are clear: approx £2,064 per year and a £50 ground rent. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
There are some practical drawbacks to note: the flat has no central heating system (electric heaters assumed) and was constructed in the 1983–1990 era, with glazing of unknown installation date. The neighbourhood records very high crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term resale or suitability for some buyers.
For buyers seeking central convenience, easy transport links and a low-maintenance compact home, this flat presents straightforward living close to Camden’s shops, cafés and cultural amenities. For those prioritising security, traditional heating, or larger living space, viewing will quickly establish whether the trade-offs are acceptable.
