This chain-free, one-bedroom second-floor apartment offers a bright, spacious feel with high ceilings and an open-plan kitchen/living area. At around 500 sqft, the layout suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a centrally located flat with good rental potential and excellent transport links — Finchley Central station is approximately 0.1 miles away.
The property sits within a Victorian-era semi-detached building and combines period character with modern finishes in the apartment: large windows, natural light and a contemporary kitchen and bathroom. The share of freehold and a long underlying lease (about 114 years remaining) are practical ownership advantages, while the annual building insurance and service charge are modest.
Buyers should note some material points: the building’s timber-frame walls are recorded as having no assumed insulation, which may affect energy efficiency and running costs. The local area reports above-average crime levels, so prospective buyers should check exact safety data and consider security measures. Broadband is average, mobile signal is excellent, and council tax and maintenance costs are described as affordable.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-sized city-flat that balances character features with modern living. It is particularly suited to first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in home close to transport and shops, or investors looking for a let-ready flat in a well-connected North London location.
