Summary - Flat 10, 489 Holloway Road N19 4DD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright central flat near parks and transport for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain free with approximately 997 years remaining on lease
A compact, chain-free studio set on the second floor of an attractive period terrace, offered with a very long lease (circa 997 years). The apartment makes efficient use of approximately 385 sq ft with a modern, open-plan kitchen/living area, large windows bringing good natural light and contemporary finishes throughout. Its location is a practical urban draw: moments from Whittington Park and within walking distance of Upper Holloway Overground and Archway Underground stations.
The property is ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-entry central London purchase. Service charge is modest at £384 (below average), broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk. The modern interior and period façade offer a mix of character and convenience.
Notable practical points: heating is electric via room heaters and the building appears to have timber-frame walls with little or no insulation (assumed), which may affect energy use and winter comfort. Crime levels in the area are above average. The apartment’s compact footprint means limited storage and living space compared with larger flats.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase with long lease security and excellent transport links, but buyers should budget for potentially higher running costs from electric heating and consider insulation/energy upgrades if desired.
