Summary - 22a, Leighton Crescent NW5 2QY
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two-bedroom garden-flat in central Camden, ready to move in or rent out.
Own entrance; ground-floor garden flat
A bright two-bedroom garden-floor flat set within a period building on leafy Leighton Crescent. The flat has its own entrance, a generous front reception with original fireplace and shutters, a modern fitted kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms (one with built-in wardrobes) and a private section of rear patio/garden that is currently shown as part of a shared garden. At about 679 sq ft this home offers a practical layout for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor wanting a central Camden postcode and good rental appeal.
Practical details suit city living: mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, ultrafast broadband availability, and excellent mobile signal. The property sits opposite Leighton Crescent Gardens and is within walking distance of Kentish Town and Tufnell Park stations (Northern line) and local bus routes into Camden, Kings Cross and beyond. Local schools include several well-regarded primaries and secondaries, making the area suitable for future family needs.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations. The building is a traditional brick construction (pre-1900) with solid walls assumed to have no cavity insulation, which can affect heating efficiency. The lease is quoted as a 125‑year lease from 24 June 1985; the listing also references 110 years remaining (unverified) — this should be clarified. The owner advises they pay 25% of any communal works if required (unverified). The private garden area is small-to-average and currently managed/used as part of a shared garden. Parking is on-street by permit only.
Overall this is a well-presented period flat requiring little immediate work, aside from any personal cosmetic updating. It offers a desirable central location, a private outdoor area and a layout that suits first-time buyers seeking space and character or investors targeting strong rental demand in NW5.
