Summary - 809C HERTFORD ROAD ENFIELD EN3 6UG
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Long lease, private garden and good transport links — ideal first-time purchase.
Chain-free ground-floor two-bedroom flat with private garden
This chain-free ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers an accessible entry to Enfield with a rare private garden for a property of this size. The long lease (about 148 years remaining) and no ground rent make ownership straightforward, while the separate kitchen with garden access enhances everyday living and entertaining. Broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful for remote work or streaming — and local train stations provide regular links into central London.
The apartment is compact (approximately 543 sq ft / 50.4 sqm) and presented in neutral, serviceable condition. It will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor wanting a low-entry property that can be improved. Expect modest running costs: council tax band B and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators. Annual service charge and advance slush-fund payments are payable and should be factored into monthly costs.
There are practical drawbacks to be aware of. The building dates from the mid-20th century with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), double glazing was installed before 2002, and the EPC is D (55) — further energy improvements would reduce bills. The local crime level is above average for the area; buyers should consider security and insurance implications. Internally the rooms are small-to-average and the layout may benefit from modernization to unlock more value.
Overall, this is a pragmatic buy for someone prioritising location, garden space and a long lease over turnkey luxury. It offers clear potential: modest investment in modernisation, insulation and cosmetic updates could improve comfort and resale or rental value in this established residential neighbourhood.
