Roomy two-bedroom flat with garage parking, communal gardens and long lease in Highgate.
Two double bedrooms and spacious reception room with balcony
Set on Hornsey Lane in Highgate, this two-bedroom flat offers a bright, usable layout ideal for first-time buyers seeking space and convenience. The reception room opens to a balcony and large windows, bringing natural light into the main living area. At about 800 sq ft, the apartment feels roomy for a city flat and includes practical storage like built-in shelving and bicycle storage.
The block provides useful communal amenities: well-kept gardens, garage parking and secure cycle storage — a notable advantage in N6. The flat has modern double glazing (post-2002) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. A long lease (164 years) reduces tenure risk and there is no annual ground rent.
Be clear on the running costs and maintenance profile: the annual service charge is around £3,300 and council tax sits in Band E (above average). The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and its concrete, modernist exterior may require typical communal maintenance; some concrete/brutalist-style blocks can show damp or repair needs over time, so buyers should check communal and structural records.
Location is a strong selling point — easy access to Crouch End and Highgate Village amenities, good local schools (including an Outstanding primary nearby), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. For buyers wanting a sizeable, well-located two-bedroom with parking and garden access, this flat represents practical city living with clear costs to consider.
