A bright, spacious one‑bedroom ground‑floor conversion set within a late‑Victorian building, offering high ceilings, sash‑style windows and generous reception space. The apartment benefits from a private 30ft rear garden and off‑street parking — rare for flats in this area — making it ideal for first‑time buyers who want outdoor space and easy street access.
Practical advantages include a fitted kitchen, a modern shower room and an incoming extended lease that will be sold as 125 years. The property sits within easy reach of New Barnet mainline station and local shops, leisure amenities and schools, providing straightforward connections into central London and everyday convenience.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an average annual service charge of about £1,200 and currently recorded EPC rating D (68), with a modest potential improvement. The building’s solid brick walls (typical of its era) likely have limited insulation, so consider potential energy‑efficiency upgrades. The area records higher local crime levels, which some buyers may want to investigate further.
Overall this conversion delivers period character, outdoor space and transport links at a competitive price point for EN5. It will suit a purchaser seeking a spacious, characterful first home with scope for targeted improvements to reduce running costs and personalise the space.
