Compact ground‑floor two‑bed with private patio — ideal for first‑time buyers or investors.
Ground‑floor two‑bed flat with private rear patio section
A compact two-bedroom garden‑floor flat in N7 offering practical inner‑city living with a private patio section. The building presents a tidy, modern brick exterior and the reception room benefits from good natural light, making the apartment feel larger than its footprint. The flat is best suited to a first‑time buyer or investor seeking a well‑located property close to Kentish Town and Tufnell Park transport links.
Important tenure and running-cost facts are stated up front: the property is leasehold with a 125‑year lease from 24 June 1985 and a share of freehold. The owner reports paying 25% of communal works when required (unverified) and parking is on‑street with a permit generally needed. Buyers should budget for council tax at Band D and confirm the exact service‑charge arrangements and parking permit rules.
The apartment is small (approx 576 sq ft) with two modest bedrooms and a single bathroom; the reception is relatively generous for the size. The layout and finish appear sound but would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value. Note there is conflicting information on heating: some records note gas heating while data provided lists electric room heaters — this must be checked before purchase.
The location is a key selling point: immediate access to local buses, Kentish Town and Tufnell Park (Northern line), plus good broadband options from Openreach, G Network and Virgin Media. Downsides to weigh are the area’s higher crime rate and the wider area’s high deprivation statistics, which may affect resale or rental perceptions. Overall, the flat offers a practical, affordable entry into Camden living for a buyer prepared to verify service‑charge details and consider light updating.
