Top-floor one-bedroom flat, chain free
A chain-free top-floor one-bedroom flat on a quiet, tree-lined street between Tufnell Park and Archway. The apartment sits within a well-kept period building and benefits from high ceilings, a separate reception room, neutral decor and a modern separate kitchen — a compact city home with clear move-in potential.
Practical running costs are straightforward: the property is electric-heated via room heaters and mains electricity, with double glazing already installed. Leasehold details are favourable for long-term security (documents supplied give remaining lease figures between about 110 and 125 years). Service charge and ground rent are approximately £1,250 per year and council tax is described as affordable.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a small, easy-to-manage central London pied-à-terre. It’s equidistant to Archway and Tufnell Park (Northern Line) with Upper Holloway Overground also close by, plus local shops, cafés and good primary and secondary schools within walking distance.
Be aware of some material limitations: the apartment is small (369 sq ft) and uses electric room heaters rather than central heating; the building’s timber-frame walls are recorded as originally built without insulation (assumed). Local crime levels are above average. These factors affect running costs and potential renovation work, but the flat’s central location and chain-free status make it a practical, low-entry option into the area.
