This two-double-bedroom garden maisonette sits on a quiet, prime turning in Highgate, a few minutes’ walk from Highgate station. Sold chain-free with a share of freehold and existing planning consent to extend into the garden, it offers a clear scope to increase living space and value.
The accommodation occupies the lower ground floor of an imposing period building and includes its own front door, lounge, kitchen, bathroom and sole use of a generous rear garden. The living room benefits from modern finishes and natural light, but buyers should note the property is lower ground level which can reduce daylight compared with upper floors.
The large rear garden is a major asset and the sale includes planning permission to extend into it. The garden is currently overgrown and will require clearing and landscaping before use or building works. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, so some fabric and heating upgrades (insulation, possibly boiler servicing or improvements) should be budgeted for.
This is a strong purchase for a first-time buyer or couple seeking a well-located home with realistic scope to add space and value. The setting in an affluent, highly educated area with good local schools and transport makes the apartment particularly appealing; however, expect some immediate maintenance, potential damp/mould checks around lower-ground areas, and modest refurbishment to realise the full potential.
