Set over two floors, this chain-free three-bedroom maisonette offers practical living close to East Finchley amenities. The ground floor features a 12ft reception, a large 21ft kitchen/diner and guest WC; the first floor houses three bedrooms including a 15ft main with a small balcony. At about 926 sq ft, rooms feel bright and neutrally presented, with double glazing and good natural light to the reception.
The property is leasehold with 86 years remaining, a modest ground rent (£10 p.a.) and an annual service charge of £1,384. These ongoing costs and the lease length are important for buyers to factor into affordability and mortgage options. The building was local-authority built in the mid-20th century and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so there is potential to improve energy performance.
This maisonette suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an immediately habitable home with rental appeal; nearby schools (including several rated Good or Outstanding) and transport links add convenience. The small, low-maintenance forecourt is easy to manage but not a substantial garden, and overall room sizes are average rather than generous.
Known positives include chain-free status, a large kitchen/diner, balcony and multiple storage cupboards. Notable considerations: 86-year lease, annual service charge and ground rent, mid-century construction with likely limited wall insulation, and Barnet Council Tax Band E. Prospective buyers should check leasehold specifics and running costs before committing.
