This well-presented one-bedroom apartment occupies the second floor of an attractive Art-Deco block, offered with vacant possession and a long 100-year lease. The flat has a generous living room, separate fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a tiled bathroom with roll-top bath and designer fittings. Recent communal works include a new lift, replacement windows and refreshed common parts.
The building benefits from secure entry, lift access and a pretty communal courtyard that provides an accessible green space in summer. Transport is exceptional — Kings Cross, St Pancras and Euston stations are all within a five-minute walk, making this a convenient pied-à-terre for a commuter or a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer.
Running costs are reasonable: double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, affordable council tax, modest ground rent, and average service charges around £1,300 per year. Potential allocated parking is available subject to local authority application, but parking is not guaranteed.
Buyers should note some material drawbacks. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation which can increase heating bills. The local area shows higher deprivation and above-average crime statistics — worth considering for buyers prioritising neighbourhood safety. Overall, this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom with character and straightforward running costs, best suited to first-time buyers or commuters seeking central convenience.
