Set on the first floor of a purpose-built block opposite Chalk Farm Northern line station, this 1-bedroom lateral apartment offers contemporary open-plan living and private outdoor space. The bespoke kitchen with Smeg appliances, quartz worktops and engineered wooden floors give the flat a high-spec, low-maintenance finish. A balcony and access to a roof terrace extend the living space for fresh air and city views.
Practical comforts include lift and step-free access, zonal underfloor heating via an air-source heat pump, secure entry systems and a long lease (246 years). At 535 sq ft the layout feels roomy for a single buyer or couple, with built-in storage in the bedroom and plentiful natural light from well-placed windows.
Be clear on running costs and local context: the service charge is around £1,800 pa but the next review date/amount has not been confirmed and should be checked. Council tax is above average and heating uses electricity; actual bills will depend on tariff and usage. The local area is an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with very high deprivation indicators and above-average crime — buyers should weigh proximity to amenities and transport against these factors.
This chain-free new-build apartment (2019) suits a first-time buyer seeking a modern, low-upkeep home with excellent transport links and easy access to Primrose Hill, Camden and Hampstead Heath. It also offers straightforward lettability for investors, though local social indicators and service costs should inform purchase decisions.
