Summary - THE PIRATE CASTLE, OVAL ROAD NW1 7EA
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful two-bedroom flat with rare private terrace in central NW1.
Large private terrace (approx. 17.2 sq.m)
Bright, well-proportioned two-bedroom flat situated on the first floor of a Victorian mid-terrace on Oval Road. The apartment has an open-plan kitchen/reception with bespoke appliances, built-in shelving, and direct access to a large private terrace (approx. 17.2 sq.m) — a rare outdoor space for NW1.
Practical positives include a recently refurbished bathroom, built-in wardrobes, a long lease (180 years) and being sold chain free. Service charge is £900 per year and there is no annual ground rent. The flat has secondary glazing and is heated by mains gas boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note material negatives: the building has solid brick construction with no assumed cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs; glazing is secondary rather than full double glazing. The local context includes high crime levels and a very deprived area classification despite excellent transport links and proximity to Regent's Canal, Regent's Park and Camden/Primrose Hill amenities. Council Tax Band E is above average.
This property suits a first-time buyer or couple wanting a ready-to-move-in, characterful apartment with rare private outdoor space in central NW1. It will particularly appeal to those prioritising location and terrace access, while buyers focused on low running costs or a quieter neighbourhood should factor in the area's deprivation and security considerations.
