This compact one-bedroom period conversion sits on a sought-after Highgate road and offers a rare private garden with its own street-level entrance. The layout includes a reception room open to a fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and a modern shower room — all presented in excellent condition with double glazing throughout. At 409 sq ft the flat is efficiently arranged for single occupancy or a couple seeking a central location.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (956 years remaining), low annual service charge (£900) and mains gas central heating. The property benefits from easy walking access to Highgate Village, Crouch End Broadway, nearby transport (Highgate and Archway stations) and local green spaces such as Parkland Walk. The building is self-managed and the ground rent is effectively peppercorn.
Buyers should note the apartment’s small overall size and limited storage; the space will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or investors looking for a city pied-à-terre rather than a family home. The building’s solid brick construction suggests little or no cavity insulation (assumed), which could mean higher heating costs unless improved. Interested parties must verify the condition of fixtures, fittings and services themselves, as these have not been tested.
