Compact, bright top-floor flat in Tufnell Park — chain free with good transport links..
Top-floor one-bedroom in Victorian conversion, bright rooflight
Set on the top floor of a Victorian conversion on leafy Yerbury Road, this compact one-bedroom apartment offers bright, loft-style living with period exterior character. The apartment benefits from a separate kitchen, double glazing, built-in storage and a large rooflight that brings natural daylight into the reception and bedroom. Its location in Tufnell Park/Upper Holloway puts shops, cafés and good transport links within easy walking distance — Upper Holloway Overground about 8 minutes and Tufnell Park Underground around 12 minutes.
The flat is a practical buy for a first-time purchaser or investor seeking a chain-free, leasehold apartment with 111 years remaining. Running costs reflect electric heating and storage heaters rather than gas, and the current EPC rating indicates scope for improvement. Service charge and ground rent are modest but should be budgeted for alongside council tax.
Buyers should note the property’s compact footprint (311 sq ft) and sloped/loft-style ceilings, which restrict usable space compared with full-height apartments. The building’s timber-frame construction is recorded with assumed lack of insulation; further internal modernisation (insulation, heating upgrade, cosmetic works) could enhance comfort and value. Crime levels in the area are above average, so prospective buyers may want to check local security measures and permit parking details before committing.
