This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a sensible entry point to north London living. At about 671 sq ft, the flat has two double bedrooms, a spacious lounge, and a modern galley kitchen opening onto a large communal garden — a rare outside space for an apartment in this area. The property is chain-free and sold with a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (989 years).
Transport is a clear strength: Bowes Park Overground and Bounds Green Underground are within walking distance, making central and outer-London commutes straightforward. Off-street residents’ parking (accessed via a private barrier) and good mobile signal add practical convenience for everyday life. Nearby schools include several highly regarded primaries and secondaries, which will appeal to buyers planning for family life.
Running costs and condition notes are straightforward. Service charges average £1,740 per year and council tax sits in an affordable band C. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has cavity walls with no assumed insulation; upgrading thermal performance may be beneficial. Broadband speeds are average for the area. The neighbourhood is inner-city cosmopolitan but scores as relatively deprived overall and experiences average crime levels, factors to weigh alongside the area’s transport and amenity strengths.
For a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking a commuter-friendly, low-hassle purchase, this flat represents tidy value: long lease, share of freehold, outside space and parking. There is modest scope for energy improvements and internal modernisation to add value over time.
