This bright studio-style apartment occupies 425 sq ft and faces south, with a balcony overlooking the Grand Union Canal. The open-plan reception and contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances create an airy, modern feel and make efficient use of the space. Large glazed doors flood the apartment with light, while the built-in wardrobe and separate utility area add useful storage for a compact home.
Practical ownership details are favourable for long-term buyers: a very long lease (996 years) and no flood risk. Local connections are convenient — the property is within walking distance of transport links and local amenities, and several nearby primary and secondary schools have Good or Outstanding Ofsted ratings. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working and streaming.
Be clear on the considerations: the apartment is small and best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family. The area records high crime levels, which may concern some buyers and could affect lettability or resale perceptions. Annual charges include a service charge of around £1,964 and ground rent of £200 — factor these into monthly costs.
Overall, this modern canal-side studio will suit a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a well-presented, low-maintenance London pied-à-terre. Its bright south-facing aspect and long lease are strong positives, but prospective purchasers should budget for service charges and weigh local crime statistics when deciding to view.
