Local area records very high crime and signs of deprivation
Set within a converted period building, this two-bedroom maisonette blends original character with contemporary touches. High ceilings, large sash windows and exposed brick create a light, airy living space; the open-plan arrangement and mezzanine maximise usable space across the 657 ft² layout. An allocated off-street parking space and proximity to Archway tube add practical convenience for day-to-day life.
The property benefits from a very long lease (effectively freehold control via share of freehold) and communal heating/hot water included within the service charge. The current annual service charge is substantial and covers heating, hot water, building insurance, lift maintenance, a weekday caretaker and management fees — factor this into running costs alongside above-average council tax.
This home will suit a buyer after character and convenience: good local schools, close shops, parks and direct transport links to the City and West End. Note the building sits in a higher-crime postcode and the area shows local deprivation indicators; buyers should consider security and local area suitability. The flat is wheelchair-accessible but has communal systems and lease covenants restricting sub-letting and pets without consent.
Cosmetically the apartment is presented well with modern bathroom and an en suite, though communal heating and the listed-style construction mean alterations may be limited and could need landlord/freeholder approval. Broadband and mobile coverage are good for the area.
