Three-bedroom period flat with long lease, communal gardens and no upper chain in East Finchley..
Three double bedrooms with large, bright reception room
Set within a handsome period building on the corner of The Bishops Avenue, this three-bedroom apartment suits families seeking space near good schools and transport. The large, bright reception room and well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable living and flexible layout for working from home. A long lease (share of freehold, c.952 years) and no upper chain make the purchase straightforward.
Residents enjoy access to a secluded communal garden and convenient local amenities, with East Finchley tube and regular buses a short walk away. The property’s original character — high ceilings and period detailing — offers charm and scope for cosmetic updating, making it appealing for buyers wanting immediate comfort or future value uplift.
Buyers should note practical considerations: there is a single bathroom, the building has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and the double glazing pre-dates 2002. Service charges are c.£2,592pa and council tax is above average. Crime levels in the area are reported above average, and broadband and mobile signals are only average.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful family home with a long lease and garden access, best suited to purchasers who value period features and are prepared for light modernization.
