Ground-floor period apartment with parking and communal gardens, close to Northern Line.
Two double bedrooms in a ground-floor 1930s mansion block
A well-presented two-double-bedroom ground floor flat in a 1930s mansion block, offering 608 sq ft of comfortable living space. The reception room features a large bay window, fireplace and wood flooring that retain period character, while double glazing and a gas-fired boiler provide everyday practicality. Communal gardens and off-street parking add outside space and convenience that are rare for central London locations.
Positioned for Woodside Park (Northern Line) and close to North Finchley shops, eateries and supermarkets, the flat suits first-time buyers seeking an established neighbourhood with good schools nearby. Wren Academy and The Compton School are both highly rated and within easy reach, making the location family-friendly despite the flat’s compact footprint.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the long lease (159 years) removes a common complication, but the average-sized service charge of £1,600 per year and the property’s modest overall size should be factored into budgeting. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and some fabric (external timber frame, partial insulation assumed) could benefit from future upgrading to improve thermal performance. Broadband speeds are average, while mobile signal is excellent.
This property offers period charm, outdoor shared space and commuter convenience in an affluent area. It will suit buyers prioritising location, schools and character over expansive interiors, or investors seeking a well-located rental in a popular north London suburb.
