This first-floor one-bedroom flat in Swallow Court offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase with practical commuter links. The apartment provides a roomy living/dining space, allocated parking and access to a communal garden — useful extras rarely found at this price point.
The flat requires modernization throughout: cosmetic updating, kitchen and bathroom refurbishment and general redecoration are needed. The 89-year lease, modest ground rent and below-average service charge keep running costs relatively low, but prospective buyers should check long-term lease implications and factor renovation costs into their budget.
Located just under 0.5 miles from Turkey Street and Enfield Lock stations, the property suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking rental income or a project to add value. Local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living, although the neighbourhood shows higher-than-average crime rates and local deprivation, which may affect desirability for some buyers.
Overall this is an affordable, compact flat with clear upside for someone willing to refurbish. It delivers commuter convenience and practical features (parking, gas central heating), balanced by leasehold status and the need for upgrade works.
