A bright, high-spec one-bedroom apartment of approximately 449 sq ft on the first floor of a secure, modern block on York Way. The main reception is well-proportioned with wide-plank timber flooring, recessed lighting and a narrow balcony that provides an outdoor amenity for city living. EPC rated B and double-glazed windows support reasonable running costs and comfort.
The location is a major strength: King's Cross/St. Pancras, Coal Drops Yard and Camden amenities are all within easy reach, with excellent transport connections for local, national and international travel. The block is secure and contemporary, making the flat straightforward to rent or to occupy as a compact city home for a single person or couple.
Buyers should note the modest internal area and an angled, irregular layout that creates some awkward corners and limits furniture placement in places. Service charge and ground rent are material for this size of property (£3,000pa service charge; £300pa ground rent), which will reduce net yields for investors and add to ongoing ownership costs for owner-occupiers.
Tenure is leasehold with around 105 years remaining. Overall, this flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance central London base or an investor after a well-located rental, but budget for higher service charges and consider yield calculations before committing.
