The layout includes a reception/dining room, kitchen with breakfast area, principal bedroom, second bedroom, family bathroom and a separate guest WC, all served from a large entrance hall.
Practical points strengthen the purchase case: a long lease of approximately 209 years, mains gas central heating and secure off‑street parking (first‑come, first‑served). The location is convenient for local amenities: about 0.6 miles to Temple Fortune shops and 0.9 miles to Finchley Central underground and high street cafés, plus several well‑rated primary and secondary schools nearby.
Buyers should note the material running costs and maintenance items: a substantial annual service charge (£3,957.08) plus a sinking fund contribution (£1,154), and Council Tax Band D. The building dates from 1930–1949 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing of unknown age — refurbishment or insulation upgrades may be needed to reduce running costs and modernise finishes.
This apartment suits a family looking for generous space in an affluent, well‑connected neighbourhood, or an investor seeking a long lease asset with clear potential to add value through targeted improvements.
