Spacious-feel period flat with high ceilings and a long lease in Childs Hill.
Bay-front reception with high ceilings and strong natural light
Small private balcony with street/mature-tree views
Flexible 2/3-bedroom layout; third room best as study/nursery
Long lease (982 years) and share of freehold ownership
Single family bathroom only; not suitable for sharers
Solid brick period build; insulation status unconfirmed
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for home working
High annual service charge (£10,054) — significant running cost
Light-filled period apartment on Finchley Road with bay windows, high ceilings and a small private balcony. The main reception/dining room feels spacious for a central London flat and the principal bedroom benefits from good natural light and storage. Arranged as a flexible 2/3-bedroom layout, the third room suits a home office or nursery rather than a full double bedroom.
Practical positives include a very long lease (982 years), share of freehold ownership and fast broadband/mobile signal — useful for remote working. Local transport links (Golders Green, Finchley Road, West Hampstead) and a mix of good local schools and amenities make this a sensible choice for families and professionals.
Notable drawbacks are the apartment’s overall modest internal size for three bedrooms, a single family bathroom, and an unusually high service charge (£10,054 p.a.). The building is an early 20th-century construction with assumed solid brick walls and no confirmed insulation; double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Not suitable for sharers and some buyers may want to budget for thermal upgrades or interior modernisation.
