Set on a quiet residential stretch of Highgate Village, this first-floor Victorian conversion offers a large one-bedroom flat with high ceilings and far-reaching easterly views. At around 645 sq ft the layout feels generous for a one-bed, with a spacious reception room, double bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, plus access to a garden. The flat is chain-free and offered with a share of freehold and a very long lease (975 years).
The property requires complete refurbishment throughout; systems and finishes are dated and the EPC rating is D. The building’s solid brick construction likely has minimal cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance and replacing fittings will be necessary. Service charge is approximately £1,500 pa and ground rent is nominal (£1).
Location is a major strength: under half a mile from Highgate Tube, moments from the Village shops, cafes and amenities, and a short walk to Highgate Woods, Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House. The area attracts professional families and benefits from strong local schools and good transport links. Note local crime levels are reported above average for the ward.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or buyer looking for a refurbishment project in a highly desirable north London village. With the share of freehold, long lease and chain-free status, the property offers straightforward ownership potential once modernisation work is completed.
