Large modern one-bed above Finsbury Park station — excellent transport, beware high service charge.
Large 1-bed apartment approx. 659 sq ft with open-plan living
A generous one-bedroom apartment (approx. 659 sq ft / 61 sq m) arranged with an open-plan living area, floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony. Finished to a high standard with underfloor heating, engineered timber flooring, stone worktops and integrated Bosch appliances, the flat feels larger than typical one-beds and benefits from a long lease (993 years) and EPC rating B.
The building sits directly above Finsbury Park station, offering immediate access to Piccadilly, Victoria and National Rail services — ideal for commuters seeking swift City and Central London links. Residents also have access to communal gardens, bicycle storage and a 24-hour concierge, adding convenience and security to daily life.
Prospective buyers should note material running costs: an unusually high service charge stated at £42,025 per annum, plus ground rent of £450 pa and council tax in band D. The wider area is described as very deprived with very high crime levels, which may concern some buyers despite the excellent transport and abundant local amenities.
This chain-free apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors who prioritise location, transport links and a spacious, modern interior — provided they factor the high service charge and local-area considerations into their budget and lifestyle decision.
