Bright and well-located, this two-bedroom first-floor flat in Gainsborough Court offers an affordable entry into North Finchley living. The reception room opens onto a south-facing balcony, delivering useful daylight and an outdoor spot for plants or morning coffee. The separate kitchen provides a practical layout, though appliances look dated and a replacement or refurbishment would add value.
With 601 sq ft of accommodation, the apartment suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a manageable home close to local shops and transport links. Woodside Park and West Finchley (Northern Line) are within easy reach, and the area benefits from low crime, good primary and secondary schools nearby, and pleasant communal grounds.
Practical points are straightforward: the lease has approximately 147 years remaining and the property is chain free, which simplifies purchase. Running costs include an estimated service charge of around £1,000 and moderate council tax. Note broadband speeds are reported as slow and the building’s solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation — further insulation or energy upgrades may be required if desired.
Overall this flat is a sensible, well-situated purchase for buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in home with scope to modernise the kitchen and improve energy performance. A survey is recommended to confirm services and any maintenance needs before completion.
