Bright, compact and chain-free, this top-floor one-bedroom conversion sits in a Victorian semi-detached building close to Victoria Park and Finchley Central. The open-plan kitchen/reception has a Juliet balcony that brings light and a touch of outdoor outlook to the living space. At 326 sq ft the layout is efficiently arranged for single occupancy or as a rental unit.
The flat is presented in a modern style with a recently fitted kitchen and a contemporary bathroom, ready to move into with no immediate works required. The long lease (approximately 970 years) and peppercorn ground rent reduce typical leasehold worries, while a below-average annual service charge of around £382 and low council tax (Band B) help running costs.
Practical points to note: the property is on the top floor and reached by stairs, which may limit accessibility and furniture handling. The building has solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation), so heating may be less efficient than in newer builds. Room sizes are small — the bedroom is a compact double — so the flat is best suited to a single buyer, couple, or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance asset in a well-connected area.
Overall, this is a straightforward, affordable entry into the Finchley market: a characterful Victorian conversion with modern finishes, strong local amenities, and straightforward ongoing costs. It offers immediate rental potential or a practical first home for buyers prioritising location and low running costs over generous internal space.
