Tucked into a 1910 period building on Leighton Road, this one-bedroom apartment offers compact central-London living with a private south-facing patio. The open-plan living and kitchen space has engineered wood flooring, modern fitted units and recessed lighting, making it a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home for an individual or couple.
Practical benefits include a private entrance, long lease (161 years remaining), chain-free sale and Nest-controlled heating linked to a modern boiler and radiators. Transport is a genuine strength: Kentish Town and Tufnell Park stations (Northern Line) are within easy reach, plus plentiful local shops, cafés and amenities for everyday convenience.
Buyers should note the flat is small at about 432 sq ft and sits within a solid-brick Victorian building that appears to lack cavity wall insulation. While double glazing was upgraded after 2002 and heating is modern, further insulation or energy-efficiency improvements may be desirable. Council tax is affordable and flooding risk is low, supporting easy ongoing running costs.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking characterful central-London accommodation with outdoor space, or an investor wanting a straightforward let in a highly connected area. It balances period charm and contemporary fittings, with clear scope for modest retrofit to boost thermal performance and long-term value.
