Chain-free mid-floor studio with separate sleeping area
Chain-free mid-floor studio/one-bedroom apartment set in a secure gated development, offered with immediate vacant possession. At about 333 sq ft the layout gives a separate sleeping area rather than a single open-plan studio — a practical benefit for first-time buyers or professionals wanting clear living/bedroom division. The apartment looks over well-kept communal gardens and includes communal gated parking.
The flat requires renovation and updating throughout, so it will appeal to buyers looking to add value through improvements. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with c.92 years remaining; service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs (approx. £1,775 pa service charge; £125 pa ground rent). Council tax is described as low.
Location is a genuine strength: close to Palmers Green, Bowes Park and Bounds Green stations (0.5–1 mile), with local shops, cafés and schools nearby. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working. Buyers should note the area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, which may affect long-term yields and resale perceptions.
Overall this is an affordable, entry-level purchase with clear scope for cosmetic improvement and potential uplift. Suited to a buyer prepared to renovate or an investor targeting a compact rental unit in a well-connected suburban pocket.
