Set on the second (top) floor of a handsome Victorian building, this one-bedroom apartment combines period character with contemporary presentation. High ceilings and bay-window views over neighbouring treetops give a feeling of space throughout the 465 sq ft layout. The property benefits from a modern shower room, a well-equipped kitchen and built-in bedroom wardrobes.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (994 years) with a share of freehold, a gated communal garden, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working and strong rental appeal. The location is a major selling point: between Manor House and Finsbury Park stations (Zone 2), close to Finsbury Park, Clissold Park, cafes, restaurants and new amenities at City North.
Buyers should note the building’s age and construction: built before 1900 with timber-frame walls assumed to have no insulation. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. These facts mean there may be scope for improving thermal efficiency and reducing running costs. The apartment is accessed by stairs to the top floor, and the local crime level and area deprivation are both average.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer seeking a character-filled, well-connected home with immediate move-in condition and future improvement potential. It also offers a straightforward rental prospect for investors wanting Zone 2 access and solid amenity catchment.
