Share of freehold; underlying lease approx 120 years; sold chain-free
0.5 miles to Kentish Town stations (Underground, Overground, Thameslink)

Local area: above-average crime and signs of deprivation to consider
Set within a raised-ground Victorian terrace on Oseney Crescent, this recently renovated one-bedroom apartment makes the most of high ceilings and full-height sash windows to deliver a bright, airy living space. A bespoke storage ‘pod’ and integrated joinery free up the plan so the reception and bedroom sit at opposite ends, giving a sense of space unusual for a one-bedroom. Engineered oak flooring, modern kitchen fittings and smart controls (Rako lighting, Nest thermostat) add contemporary convenience.
The living room opens onto a private terrace that leads down to a generous shared garden used by just one other flat — a rare outdoors space for central NW5. Chain-free sale with a share of freehold and an underlying lease of about 120 years make ownership straightforward. Excellent transport links are a short walk away: Kentish Town (Underground, Overground, Thameslink) is approximately 0.5 miles, with green spaces such as Cantelowes Gardens and Hampstead Heath nearby.
Practical considerations are clear: the building predates 1900 with solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than newer stock despite the mains-gas boiler and radiators. The local area is inner-city cosmopolitan with above-average crime and indicators of deprivation — factors to weigh when viewing. Overall, this is a well-finished, characterful apartment suited to a first-time buyer seeking central location, outdoor space, and straightforward ownership, or an investor targeting strong rental demand near major transport nodes.
