A rare ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Countess Road offering private entrance and direct access to a paved patio garden. Set within a well-maintained Victorian terrace, the apartment benefits from period features such as a large bay window, high ceilings and original wood floorboards that flood the living space with natural light. With 404 sq ft of accommodation it’s compact but well laid out for single occupants or couples.
Practical positives include an independently accessed entrance, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for home working. The lease has 137 years remaining, giving long-term security, and local transport links place Kentish Town, Tufnell Park and Hampstead Heath within easy walking distance.
Be clear about limitations: the overall size is small and there’s only one bathroom. The property is leasehold and service charges are ad hoc, so ongoing costs may fluctuate. The building’s solid brick construction (typical of its era) likely lacks modern cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating bills and scope for improvement.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking character, outdoor space and proximity to green areas such as Hampstead Heath, with clear potential to add value through modest energy-efficiency upgrades and cosmetic personalisation.
