A chain-free, long-lease one-bedroom ground-floor flat in Enfield Island Village, offered at £200,000. The flat is compact (approx. 408 sq ft) and suits a first-time buyer, commuter or investor seeking straightforward access to local transport and amenities. It sits in a modern apartment block built c.1996–2002 with communal grounds and off-street parking.
Internally the layout includes a double bedroom, 14ft lounge/diner, separate kitchen and bathroom. The property has double glazing and electric storage heaters; décor is dated in places so modest cosmetic updating would unlock value. Service charge is approximately £2,160 pa and the remaining lease is very long (about 166 years).
Important negatives are factual: the immediate area is classified as deprived with a very high crime level, and the flat is small. Heating is electric storage—running costs can be higher than gas—and the service charge is a recurring cost to factor in. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and nearby schools and a supermarket make the location practical for commuters and young families.
Overall this is a compact, low-entry property with long lease security and easy transport links; it will most appeal to buyers who prioritise location and affordability and are willing to carry out light updating or accept a smaller living footprint.
