Bright, practical and well-located, this first-floor one-bedroom conversion on Fernbank Avenue suits a single buyer or couple seeking easy access to central London. The 16' reception room with a bay window brings generous natural light and period character; gas central heating and double glazing (pre-2002) keep running costs reasonable. Commuters benefit from nearby Sudbury Hill Piccadilly Line and Chiltern Line stations, plus local shops and regular buses within a short walk.
The flat is an average-sized, traditional layout offering comfortable living across about 555 sq ft: a large double bedroom, separate kitchen and a good-sized bathroom. The building’s Victorian bay-fronted exterior and standard ceiling heights will appeal to buyers who like period features and straightforward maintenance rather than modern open-plan living. Council Tax Band C keeps ongoing charges affordable.
Important drawbacks are clear and factual: the property is leasehold with approximately 62 years remaining, which may limit mortgage availability and will require early buyer attention to lease extension costs. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so further energy improvements may be needed. The glazing was installed before 2002 and, while double glazed, may not match current efficiency standards.
Chain-free and ready for a new owner, this flat is a practical, entry-level purchase in a well-connected area. Buyers should obtain mortgage and legal advice about the lease length before proceeding; for those able to manage or extend the lease, the property offers accessible transport links, solid rental or owner-occupier demand, and scope for modest updating to increase comfort and value.
