Summary - Flat 118, Lock House, 35 Oval Road NW1 7BJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Modern canal-view flat with parking and on-site gym near Regent’s Park.
Allocated underground parking space included
This compact one-bedroom apartment sits canal-side in Lock House on Oval Road, offering a private balcony overlooking Regent’s Canal and an allocated underground parking space — a rare find in NW1. The open-plan living/kitchen layout, modern fittings and communal amenities (24-hour porter, residents’ gym, cycle storage and a well-kept communal terrace) suit a professional or couple seeking convenient central London living with outdoor space and on-site facilities.
Practical strengths include a long lease (about 138 years remaining), double glazing and connection to a communal gas heating scheme. Transport links are excellent: Camden Town and Camden Road stations and frequent bus routes are within easy walking distance, while Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill are minutes away for weekend relaxation.
Buyers should note running costs: an above-average service charge (approx. £7,200pa) and a high ground rent (£780pa) increase annual outgoings. Council tax is also above average. The immediate area records very high crime levels — something to factor into personal security considerations despite the building’s 24-hour porter and secure parking.
Overall this is a practical, well-specified urban apartment for those prioritising location, views and on-site amenities over low holding costs. It works well as a primary home for a single occupant or couple, or as a buy-to-let for investors targeting strong rental demand in Camden, provided the service charge and ground rent are acceptable.
