Well-located one-bedroom with long lease and parking, needs some modernisation.
One-bedroom, 475 sq ft (approx) with private ground-floor entrance
A practical one-bedroom first-floor apartment offering 475 sq ft of straightforward, usable space in a well-connected north London location. The flat has its own ground-floor entrance, a generous reception room and a separate kitchen, plus the rare local benefit of access to one of four off-street parking spaces. The long lease (approximately 167 years remaining) and nil ground rent remove common ownership headaches for buyers.
The interior mixes eras: a modern kitchen with neutral finishes and good natural light sits alongside a living room with dated 1970s décor that will benefit from updating. Heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators and the property appears to have double glazing; exact installation dates and some utility details are to be confirmed. Broadband performance is currently reported as very slow despite Openreach ultrafast services being available in the area.
Transport links are a clear strength — Tufnell Park, Kentish Town and Caledonian Road stations are within easy reach, with quick access to King’s Cross and central London. Local schools are well rated and the immediate neighbourhood is inner-city cosmopolitan, making the flat suitable for a single buyer, couple or an investor seeking a straightforward rental let in a popular part of Islington.
Material negatives are straightforward: the reception room needs modernization, some utilities and service charge information remain unconfirmed, and the wider area scores as relatively deprived with average local crime. These are factual points to factor into offer strategy and renovation budgeting.
