Set on the second floor of a well-maintained mid-rise block, this compact one-bedroom flat offers bright, south-facing living and handy outdoor views over landscaped communal gardens. Large windows and original parquet flooring give character and a feeling of space, while lift access makes daily life easier. A separate fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobe area and a modern bathroom complete practical living. The apartment is small at 388 sq ft, so it suits a single buyer, couple, or buy-to-let investor wanting a low-maintenance pied-à-terre near Highgate Village.
Ownership is leasehold with 122 years remaining, providing long-term security; the annual service charge is approximately £2,040, which should be factored into running costs. The flat includes useful extras: a private basement storage compartment and a lock-up garage — both uncommon in central North London developments and helpful for storage or secure parking. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: the property’s small total area limits furniture layouts and storage compared with larger flats. It is a leasehold unit with an above-average service charge for its size; council tax banding is not provided and should be checked. Overall, this is a bright, well-presented small flat with strong location appeal for first-time buyers or investors seeking a convenient, low-hassle North London address.
