Summary - Leconfield Road, N5 N5 2RZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Auction-ready one-bedroom with cellar and garden access, strong scope to add value.
Around 700 sq ft; bright one-bedroom apartment
Set on a popular tree-lined street in Highbury, this bright one-bedroom apartment spans about 700 sq ft and offers clear scope to add value. The property includes a good-sized double bedroom, modern shower room, spacious eat-in kitchen and direct access to an east-facing communal garden with a privately used timber shed (shed not included in the lease). Lower-ground cellar space is sizeable and useful for storage.
Notable development potential stems from the combined ceiling heights (studio 2.83 m; lower level 1.65 m) and two previously approved—but now lapsed—planning permissions that showed feasibility to raise the wooden floor to create a self-contained lower studio or separate one-bedroom unit. The feasibility history, long lease (115 years) and relatively low service charge make this attractive for buyers seeking renovation uplift or a small rental income opportunity. Property will be sold at auction via Secure Sale online bidding; cash buyers are preferred and terms apply.
Practical points and considerations: this is a leasehold sale with an annual ground rent of £10 and a service charge of £949. The lower level has limited ceiling height (1.65 m) and so may restrict full-height habitable conversion without structural work or planning. The timber shed in the garden is in regular private use but is not part of the lease. The sale is a public notice/repossession auction sale — buyers should be prepared for auction timelines and checks.
Location benefits include proximity to Highbury Fields, Highbury Barn and good transport links (Overground and Victoria/Piccadilly Lines). Local shops, cafés and amenities are abundant, and several highly rated schools are nearby. This is a straightforward opportunity for an investor or a buyer comfortable with a renovation project in a sought-after Inner London location.
