Summary - 71B DOWNHILLS PARK ROAD LONDON N17 6AS
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Spacious Victorian flat with private south garden and long lease near Turnpike Lane.
South-facing private garden accessed directly from kitchen-diner
This bright one-bedroom Victorian flat offers a rare private south-facing garden and generous kitchen-diner with direct outdoor access — ideal for first-time buyers seeking outdoor space in North London. At about 593 sq ft the apartment feels spacious for its layout and benefits from a long lease and modern bathroom, so it’s ready to move into with minimal immediate work.
Set less than a ten-minute walk from Turnpike Lane tube (Piccadilly Line) and close to local shops, cafés and parks, the location combines practical transport links with easy access to green spaces like Downhills Park and Alexandra Palace. The property’s double-glazed windows and gas-fired boiler with radiators provide efficient heating and good broadband and mobile signals support modern working-from-home needs.
Be clear about a few material points: the building is solid-brick Victorian construction and likely lacks wall insulation, so heating costs and cold spots are possible without further upgrades. The flat is leasehold and sits in an area with above-average crime and higher local deprivation indicators — factors worth checking for future resale or family needs. There are no notable flood risks.
For a first-time buyer wanting character, outdoor space and excellent transport connections, this flat represents strong value with immediate usability and potential for targeted improvements (insulation, cosmetic updates) to enhance comfort and energy efficiency.
