A recently renovated ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in N19, arranged as an open-plan reception/kitchen with a separate bathroom. The finish is contemporary throughout, with integrated appliances, wood-effect flooring and electric underfloor heating that the owner reports keeps energy costs low. Ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile coverage suit remote working and streaming.
The flat sits in a Victorian building finished in 2018 and benefits from a long lease (125 years from April 2018, 118 years remaining) and three years left on the original building warranty. Its central Archway-adjacent location places local shops, bus routes and Archway Tube within a short walk, with Waterlow Park, Hampstead Heath and Highgate Village easily reachable.
Important practical points: this is a compact city flat of approximately 322 sq ft with no private garden and only a narrow forecourt. Tenure is leasehold with an annual service charge (approx £1,389.46 for 2024/25) and ground rent (£275 pa until 2028). The lease includes restrictions (residential use only, floors to be carpet-covered except kitchen/bathroom; parking permits generally not permitted). Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high, which may be a factor for some buyers.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance, well-presented city apartment with modern services and strong connectivity. Expect compact living space and ongoing leasehold costs; viewings will best suit those prioritising location, low running costs and a turnkey finish over private outdoor space.
