Set within an attractive period terrace on Hillfield Avenue, this chain-free lower-ground apartment offers 530 sq ft of well-presented living space and a private rear patio. The flat benefits from a long lease (999 years/share of freehold), modern kitchen and shower room, and gas central heating — practical features for a first-time buyer seeking a low-hassle purchase.
The reception is a generous size and opens onto a private patio, extending living space outdoors. High ceilings and period character in the building add charm, while double glazing and a recent decorative finish reduce immediate maintenance needs. Parking is available by permit from Haringey Council and local transport links (Hornsey BR 0.3 miles, Turnpike Lane Underground 0.7 miles) make commuting straightforward.
Notable practical points: the property sits on a lower-ground level so natural light is more limited than upper floors, and the surrounding area records higher crime levels, which some buyers will want to factor into security plans. Annual service charge is modest (£75 pcm), ground rent is a peppercorn, and council tax band B applies.
Overall this is a compact, ready-to-move-in home with long-term ownership security and excellent local amenities — suited to buyers seeking an affordable entry to Crouch End with straightforward living and good transport links.
