Set on the first floor of a mid-20th-century brick block, this three-bedroom apartment offers comfortable, well-proportioned living for young families or sharers. A private terrace and a spacious reception room create easy indoor-outdoor flow, while a modern-style kitchen with breakfast bar handles daily life and entertaining. Finchley Central station is roughly 0.5 miles away, and the property sits within the catchment of several highly regarded primary and secondary schools, including Akiva, making school runs straightforward.
Practical strengths include a long lease (203 years), low annual service charge (£1,490) and no ground rent, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. At about 876 sq ft, the layout is traditional and functional; the single family bathroom serves three bedrooms, which suits families but may feel limiting for some buyers. Parking is on-street for residents rather than a dedicated space.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building dates from the 1950s–60s and external walls are solid brick with assumed no additional insulation, so there may be opportunities (and costs) for energy-efficiency improvements. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. The local area records above-average crime levels, which is worth factoring into any decision.
Overall this is a practical, well-located home that balances size, school access and transport links with low running costs and long lease security. It will suit families seeking space near good schools and commuters wanting quick access to central London; investors may also find the combination of size and low charges appealing, subject to the single-bathroom layout and area considerations.
