Summary - Watersmeet Place, Green Lanes, London, N4 N4 2JH
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Peaceful two-bedroom flat by West Reservoir — chain free with excellent transport links.
Private balcony with uninterrupted reservoir and wetland views
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment offering almost 700 sq ft of practical living space, set on the second floor of a gated development beside West Reservoir and Woodberry Wetlands. The open-plan kitchen/reception opens onto a private balcony with uninterrupted water and greenery views — an unusually tranquil outlook for North London. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and fitted wardrobe; the second bedroom is a comfortable double. Sold chain free with vacant possession and a long lease (approx. 105 years).
This home suits first-time buyers seeking a peaceful base with excellent transport links. Manor House and Finsbury Park stations are within easy walking distance, and local cafes, parks and leisure facilities are moments away. The building has secure keycode entry, on-site bike stores and an EPC B rating, supporting lower running costs than many older London flats.
Be clear about the costs: the current service charge is around £4,000 pa and ground rent £125 pa, so budget for higher communal charges typical of managed riverside developments. The area records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may concern some buyers and could affect future resale values. The flat is leasehold; while 105 years is healthy for now, factor leasehold ownership into mortgage and long-term plans.
Overall this apartment offers rare reservoir-front views, commuter convenience and a ready-to-move-in interior — a strong option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors who prioritise location, transport and green space access, provided they accept the service charge and local area issues.
