Summary - GILBEY HOUSE, 38 FLAT 17 JAMESTOWN ROAD LONDON NW1 7BY
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious central Camden flat with parking and terrace overlooking the canal.
Large 1,070 sq ft two-bedroom, two-bath apartment
A substantial two-bedroom apartment set on the second floor of Gilbey House, a converted 1930s block beside the Regent’s Canal. The flat offers bright, well-proportioned living spaces, a large reception/dining room that opens onto a terrace with canal views, and an allocated underground garage space — rare for central Camden.
Practical features include two double bedrooms (one en-suite), good built-in storage, double glazing, an EPC rating of C and building amenities such as a porter, gym/sauna and secure parking. The 1,070 sq ft layout and long lease (approximately 184 years remaining) provide flexibility for couples or small families who want central living with outdoor space.
Buyers should note material running costs and fabric details: the property uses electric storage heaters, the building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, and the service charge is high (£8,052 p.a.). Council tax is also described as quite expensive. The area is inner-city with a high recorded crime level, although it benefits from excellent transport links, fast broadband and proximity to parks and good schools.
This apartment suits purchasers who prioritise location, space and on-site facilities and who are comfortable budgeting for above-average service charges and energy costs. It also presents straightforward potential for cosmetic updates to personalise interiors while keeping the character of a converted period building.
