Set on the first floor of a handsome 1930s conversion in the heart of Crouch End, this chain-free two-bedroom flat balances period character with practical living. At 641 sq ft the layout separates living and cooking spaces—ideal for socialising or working from home—while original bay windows and wood flooring bring natural light and warmth.
The property benefits from generous built-in storage, a well-fitted kitchen and a smart bathroom with a rainfall shower. Residents will also enjoy access to a communal garden and strong local transport links: Crouch Hill Overground is 0.3 miles away and Finsbury Park Station about a mile.
Practical points to note: the 147-year lease offers long-term security, ground rent is a peppercorn and the service charge runs at around £600pa. The building is solid-brick with no known insulation upgrades and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so there is scope for energy-efficiency improvements.
This flat will suit first-time buyers or couples seeking an attractive period home close to independent shops, cafés and green spaces. It presents straightforward occupancy now with clear potential to personalise and reduce running costs through targeted improvements.
