This one-bedroom garden flat in De Beauvoir offers a compact, well-proportioned home with direct access to a private garden — a rare city feature for first-time buyers. Set on the lower floor of a period conversion, the flat has its own entrance, a large reception room, an eat-in kitchen and a generous double bedroom, arranged for straightforward, comfortable living.
Practical ownership is a strength: a new 999-year lease is granted on completion and the property is sold with a share of freehold, removing short-lease concerns. Resident off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the flat well-suited to city workers. Transport links are strong — Essex Road, Haggerston and Highbury & Islington are within easy reach for the City and West End.
Be candid about the condition: the living room’s fireplace needs maintenance and the building’s solid brick walls are unlikely to include modern cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs and scope for upgrading. The area is classed as more deprived, though crime levels are low and local amenities — deli, pubs, restaurants and good schools — are strong.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a period property with outdoor space and long lease security. It offers immediate liveability with clear potential for improving energy efficiency and cosmetic updating to add value.
