Bright, split-level two-bedroom flat arranged over the fourth and fifth floors, offering a comfortable first home or a city rental. The south-facing balcony and good natural light make the main living areas pleasant throughout the day, while the separate kitchen/diner gives functional space for cooking and dining.
Practical features include a large walk-in storage cupboard on the landing (useful for bikes) and additional communal storage. The long lease (119 years), low ground rent (£10 pa) and EPC B rating are solid ownership positives. Thornhill Square Gardens, Barnard Park and transport hubs including King’s Cross are within easy reach, making day-to-day life convenient.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area of higher-than-average crime and marked local deprivation; this may influence resale or rental dynamics. Annual service charges total about £3,228 (approx. £269 pcm), and the flat is accessed via upper floors—so the layout involves stairs and may not suit limited mobility. Cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so further insulation work could be needed to improve thermal performance and running costs.
Overall, this is a well-presented, practical two-bedroom flat with good transport access and outside space. It will suit first-time buyers wanting an adaptable city pied-à-terre or investors seeking reliable central-N1 rental potential, provided they factor in service charges and local area considerations.
