This well-presented one-bedroom apartment occupies the fourth floor of a distinguished red-brick mansion block on Eton Rise, a short walk from Chalk Farm, Primrose Hill and Camden Town. At about 512 sq ft the layout separates living and sleeping spaces well: a bright reception/dining room, a good double bedroom with built-in storage, a smart kitchen and modern bathroom. The flat benefits from a long lease (circa 132 years) and is offered chain free.
A major draw is the large, mature communal garden giving a calm, leafy aspect and good privacy in a central location. The apartment receives strong natural light and has convenient connections — fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — making it practical for city working professionals or a first-time buyer seeking a comfortable London base.
Buyers should note the higher-than-average service charge (£4,250 pa) and that the building’s solid brick construction dates to the early 20th century, likely with limited wall insulation. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high, so prospective purchasers may wish to check security arrangements and insurance costs.
Overall this is a characterful, centrally located one-bed with a secure long lease and attractive communal grounds. It suits someone prioritising location, natural light and period charm, while accepting above-average service charges and the typical maintenance considerations of an older mansion block.
