Set on the first floor of a well-preserved Victorian conversion, this 616 sq ft flat offers two double bedrooms and a spacious reception room — an appealing layout for first-time buyers or couples needing a home office. High ceilings and original period features give the apartment character, while the living space and bedroom proportions feel generous for the size.
Practical ownership benefits include a share of freehold with a 999-year lease and peppercorn ground rent, and the property is offered chain free for a straightforward purchase. The location is a major selling point: Crouch End Broadway’s shops, cafés and restaurants are within half a mile, with green space at Parkland Walk and Finsbury Park close by. Good transport links to Finsbury Park and Archway broaden commuting options.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation, which may affect energy efficiency and could mean future retrofit work. Service charges are ad-hoc (20% of outgoings), and parking is on-street by permit from the council. There is a single bathroom for two bedrooms.
Overall, this period conversion presents a ready-to-move-in base with scope to improve energy performance and personalise finishes. For first-time buyers seeking character, convenient amenities and long lease security in a lively north London neighbourhood, this apartment is worth viewing.
