Compact, bright first‑floor flat near Primrose Hill and excellent transport links.
Chain free with share of freehold
Light-filled and compact, this one-bedroom flat on the first floor offers 368 sqft of well-arranged living in Vanbern House. The reception/dining room benefits from large windows and wooden floors, while a separate kitchen retains classic cabinetry and period charm. A south-facing communal outdoor area and on-site bike storage add practical outdoor and transport-friendly perks.
The property is chain free with a share of freehold, making it suitable for a first-time buyer looking to get onto the local market or an investor seeking a central rental opportunity. Excellent transport links — Chalk Farm, Kentish Town and Camden stations nearby — and proximity to Primrose Hill, Hampstead Heath and the Roundhouse place cultural and green spaces within easy reach.
Be clear about the scale: at 368 sqft the flat is small and best suited to single occupancy or as a lock-up-and-leave city base. The immediate area scores high for crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term resale and rental yields for some buyers. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has partial wall insulation; double glazing was added after 2002 and heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators.
Overall this property offers an affordable, central entry into NW5 living with genuine lifestyle benefits and straightforward maintenance considerations. Viewings are recommended for anyone prioritising location, transport access and a compact urban home with outdoor communal space.
