Set within Elm Village on the Regent’s Canal, this compact two-bedroom flat offers an efficient, modern layout ideal for a first-time buyer seeking central Camden living. At approximately 526 sq ft the apartment includes a separate fitted kitchen, a bright reception room and two modest bedrooms, making practical use of its space.
Practical benefits include a long lease (996 years), share of freehold status, off-street parking and access to a communal garden — rare conveniences for inner-city locations close to King’s Cross, Granary Square and transport links. The property is offered chain free, simplifying purchase for a buyer ready to move quickly.
Buyers should note the relatively high annual service charge (£3,957) and the property’s overall small footprint, which may limit storage and furniture options. The local area is an inner-city, multicultural, student-oriented neighbourhood with above-average crime statistics and pockets of deprivation; prospective purchasers should weigh location advantages against these factors.
This flat suits someone prioritising location, transport and long-term security of tenure, who is comfortable with compact urban living. It also presents straightforward rental potential for investors, given proximity to universities and transport hubs, but budget for service charges when calculating returns.
