A compact ground-floor studio with a separate kitchen set within a gated period block close to Kentish Town transport links. The main room is bright with large windows and wood flooring; the separate U-shaped kitchen offers integrated appliances and useful storage — a practical layout for a single buyer or couple.
The building benefits from communal gas heating, double glazing fitted post-2002 and fast ultrafast broadband options. Local transport is excellent (Kentish Town tube and Thameslink nearby) and Camden’s shops, markets and green spaces are within easy reach, making this a well-connected city base.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with approximately 110 years remaining. The service charge is relatively high at £2,425.24pa (covers heating, hot water, gas supply, insurance and communal costs) and ground rent is minimal at £10pa. There is no allocated parking and the property sits in an area of higher deprivation despite low local crime.
The lease contains everyday restrictions: no pets without written permission and floors must be substantially covered to limit noise transmission. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so further insulation works could improve comfort and running costs. Overall, the flat is best suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-connected, low-maintenance city studio with clear running-cost trade-offs.
