This chain-free, ground-floor maisonette sits 0.2 miles from East Finchley Underground, with an independent entrance and a private rear garden. The property feels more like a house on the ground floor, with a medium reception room that benefits from large mid-century style windows and good natural light.
Accommodation is presented in a traditional style: two bedrooms, a separate fitted kitchen and one family bathroom across about 695 sq ft. The finish is dated in places (notably the U-shaped wooden kitchen) and some updating or refurbishment will be needed to maximise value. A Section 20 notice is on file — buyers should check the works and costs involved.
Practical strengths include a long underlying lease (about 198–199 years), share of freehold, low annual service charge (£931.55) and a peppercorn or nominal ground rent. The location is convenient for transport, local shops and several well-regarded schools, making the flat suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Notable cautions: the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and external walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs and future works. The immediate area records above-average crime rates; prospective buyers should research local safety and maintenance obligations tied to the Section 20.
