Set on the second floor of Montrose Court, this two-bedroom apartment offers a long lease (approximately 142–143 years) and practical living space for first-time buyers or buyers looking to add value. The flat sits less than half a mile from Burnt Oak Northern Line station, providing direct links to central London in around 20 minutes and a range of local shops and amenities nearby.
Internally the property requires a degree of attention and cosmetic updating, giving a buyer the chance to personalise finishes and increase value. Accommodation includes a good-sized reception room, two bedrooms, a three-piece bathroom, and a kitchen with access to a small patio and communal rear area. The overall footprint is modest (around 587 sq ft) and best suited to those seeking a compact city home or a renovation project.
Practical details: the property is leasehold with low annual service charge (£1,800) and no ground rent. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the windows are double glazed (install date unknown). Parking is available off-street via residents’ permits, and local schools with good Ofsted ratings are within easy reach.
Be candid about the downsides: the flat sits in an area with higher crime rates and slow broadband speeds; the building dates from the mid-20th century and some elements (decor, kitchen, bathroom) need updating. Buyers should budget for renovation and check any structural or insulation details if these are priorities.
