This two-bedroom period conversion on Glebe Road combines character features with useful modern upgrades. Large bay windows flood the reception with light, and the tiled kitchen opens directly onto a private garden — the original house’s full plot — offering rare outdoor space for central Finchley.
Practical comforts include underfloor heating in the bathroom, double glazing and mains gas boiler heating. At about 652 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a bright, low-maintenance home with good broadband and strong mobile signal. The remaining lease of 106 years gives medium-term security for a leasehold purchase.
Location is a key asset: local shops, leisure park amenities (David Lloyd, Vue, bowling), and multiple Underground stations provide reliable connections into the City and West End. Nearby schools range from “Good” to “Outstanding,” which may appeal to buyers planning for children.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the building is an older solid-brick Victorian conversion (likely no wall insulation), the installed double glazing predates 2002, and the area records higher-than-average crime levels. The flat is average in size and may require targeted improvements for energy efficiency or modernising the kitchen and bathroom finishes.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful two-bedroom conversion with outside space and sensible modern comforts. It suits buyers seeking a practical home close to transport and leisure, or investors after rental appeal in a well-connected north London neighbourhood.
