Set within the award-winning, gated Princess Park Manor on Royal Drive, this chain-free first-floor apartment offers 1,001 sq ft of elegant living in a striking Grade II listed Italianate building. High ceilings, oak wood floors and large arched sash windows create bright, airy rooms and a strong period character that will appeal to buyers looking for space and heritage. The generous reception room and master bedroom both benefit from triple-aspect windows with pleasant views over extensive, well-kept communal grounds.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, two bathrooms (one ensuite), a separate contemporary kitchen and on-site leisure facilities including tennis courts and a Nuffield Health club (membership fee required). The property sits within c.30 acres of private parkland, with 24-hour manned security and private communal amenities that suit families and professionals seeking a secure, parkland setting close to Muswell Hill and transport links.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade II listed status preserves historic features but can restrict alterations and add cost or complexity to works. The flat is leasehold (c.900 years remaining) with a ground rent of £275 and relatively expensive council tax; communal service charges and membership fees for the health club apply. Crime in the immediate area is reported as above average, so buyers should factor local safety and insurance needs into their decision.
