This well-presented two-bedroom apartment sits on the third floor of a secure gated development beside the New River, offering pleasant waterside views from a private balcony and an allocated off-street parking space. The open-plan living and kitchen area is light-filled with contemporary finishes and laminate flooring, making the layout straightforward for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a ready-to-move-in home.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (242 years), double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus on-site nursery and communal gardens. The property is offered chain free and is a short walk to Hornsey and Crouch End amenities and nearby rail and tube links, supporting both commuter and local lifestyle needs.
Important factual drawbacks are the relatively high annual service charge (£2,146) and ground rent (£534), and the property is in an area with a very high recorded crime level and above-average deprivation locally. Heating is via a community scheme rather than an independent boiler — check service arrangements and costs. No private garden and the balcony is small; apartment size is average for two bedrooms (around 829 sq ft).
