A compact, newly renovated one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette set in a gated courtyard development on Birkbeck Road. The apartment is finished to a high standard with wooden floors, a modern integrated kitchen, high-spec bathroom and useful extras such as CAT6 cabling, an entryphone and double glazing. The building carries a 10-year warranty and the lease is effectively new with 125 years remaining.
The layout is open-plan and efficiently arranged across approximately 438 sq ft (c. 40.7 sq m). The property faces a paved communal/gated courtyard rather than a private garden, which suits buyers who prioritise low outdoor maintenance and secure, managed communal space. Walking distance to Woodside Park and West Finchley stations plus local shops makes this a practical city base.
Notable financial facts are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with a brand-new 125-year lease, a peppercorn ground rent and an annual service charge of about £700 (below average). Council Tax is Band E, which is higher than average for a one-bedroom. The size is small for a one-bedroom maisonette, so it will suit first-time buyers, single professionals or buy-to-let investors rather than those needing more living space or a private garden.
In short, this is a low-maintenance, well-specified apartment in a secure, convenient location. It offers immediate move-in condition and rental potential, but prospective buyers should note the compact footprint, leasehold tenure and the Band E council tax band when assessing running costs.
