Set within an imposing Georgian-style block on the summit of Highgate West Hill, this triple-aspect ground-floor apartment combines generous rooms with classic period details. High ceilings, large windows and a working fireplace create a bright, flexible living space arranged as three bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom and an en suite shower room. The long lease and share of freehold provide ownership security.
The building offers practical conveniences for family life: well-kept communal gardens, residents’ parking by permit and a porter service. The property is well placed for Highgate High Street amenities and excellent local schools, with Hampstead Heath close by for outdoor recreation.
Buyers should note the financial and maintenance facts clearly: the combined annual service charge and reserve contribution is £8,175.32, and the property sits in Camden Council Band F, making running costs significant. Hot water is supplied via a communal boiler and paid through the service charge. The construction is solid brick with secondary glazing; the walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and future retrofit costs.
This apartment will suit a family seeking space, character and proximity to top local schools, or buyers wanting a period home with clear potential to modernise. The long lease and share of freehold reduce tenure risk, while the service charge and council tax should be factored into affordability calculations.
