Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor apartment with long lease and clear potential. Set in a purpose-built block beside Windsor Open Space, the flat offers peaceful outlooks and practical essentials: double glazing, gas central heating and an allocated off-street parking space. At around 657 sq ft it provides a comfortable reception room, a compact kitchen and a standard bathroom — a solid blank canvas for modernisation.
The property requires renovation throughout, so buyers should allow for updating to bring decor, fittings and the kitchen up to contemporary standards. Annual running costs include a service charge of approximately £2,425 and a ground rent of about £140; council tax is moderate. With approximately 998 years remaining on the lease the tenure is effectively long leasehold without the complications often associated with short leases.
This location suits first-time buyers and investors who value convenience and green space. Finchley Central is a short bus ride away for Tube links, shops and restaurants, while several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach. The communal garden and nearby open space add lifestyle appeal in an otherwise urban setting.
Viewing will make the scope clear: the flat’s fundamentals are strong but the finish is dated. If you are looking for a low-hassle long-lease purchase to renovate for own use or let, this offers a practical, affordable entry into N3 with genuine upside after refurbishment.
