Ground-floor living with garden access beside Hampstead Heath extension.
Ground-floor 2-bedroom apartment with private patio access
A bright ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in an Edwardian listed block, set beside the Hampstead Heath extension. The flat opens via large doors onto a small private patio and well-kept communal gardens, and benefits from a porter and direct access to green space — a rare ground-floor layout for this area. The eat-in kitchen and generously proportioned rooms suit a small family or buyers seeking easy access to outdoors.
Buyers must note material drawbacks: the lease has 49 years remaining (expires 29 Sept 2074). Mortgage lenders may refuse to lend unless the lease is extended; the vendor has indicated a 999-year extension could be obtained for approximately £105,000. The building’s listed status will add legal and consent considerations for alterations.
Running costs are above average: service charges total c. £6,440.62 per year (charged £3,220.31 six-monthly), with a small ground rent of £60 per annum. The apartment has an EPC rating D and solid-brick construction (no assumed wall insulation). There is an above-average local crime rate listed — worth checking for specific concerns. Chain-free sale and prime Hampstead Garden Suburb location remain strong positives.
