A bright one-bedroom garden flat set within a Victorian terrace on Southcote Road, offering a private entrance and patio. The open-plan reception and period features such as high ceilings and bay windows give a sense of space uncommon for its footprint. With direct access from the bedroom to a private courtyard, the flat suits someone who values outdoor space without the maintenance of a full garden.
Practically, the property is leasehold with 97 years remaining, a below-average service charge (£400 pa) and a small annual ground rent (£150). Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, glazing is double but install date is unknown, and the building has solid brick walls (no assumed cavity insulation) — factors to consider for future energy/upgrade costs. Council tax sits in Band G and local crime statistics are higher than average for the area.
Location is a strong selling point: Tufnell Park’s cafés, shops and Northern Line links are nearby, and Hampstead Heath is within walking distance. Broadband speeds are fast and the neighbourhood skews affluent and well-educated, with several highly rated schools within easy reach — a genuine draw for local buyers and professionals.
This flat will appeal to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a characterful, well-located home with outdoor space and reasonable running costs. It also offers modest refurbishment potential for buyers wanting to improve energy efficiency or modernise the kitchen and bathroom. Important practical checks: confirm lease details, service charge accounts, recent glazing/heating work, and local security measures prior to purchase.
