Top-floor one-bedroom apartment in New River Village, offered on a shared-ownership (30%) basis offering an affordable route into Hornsey (asking price £94,500). The flat is set over approximately 560 sq ft and presents a contemporary open-plan living/kitchen, a large double bedroom and a generous bathroom. Finished to a modern standard with double glazing and clean, minimalist lines, it suits a single professional or couple seeking easy access to central London.
Practical positives include a secure off-street parking space, plentiful built-in storage and very low local crime. Transport links are strong: Hornsey rail and Turnpike Lane (Piccadilly Line) are only minutes’ walk, and shops, bars and restaurants on Hornsey High Street and Crouch End Broadway are close by. Local schools are rated Good, supporting buyers with future family plans.
Notable considerations: this is a leasehold shared-ownership sale (30% share) with an ongoing monthly rent of approximately £586.66 on the remaining share. Tenure is long (around 970 years remaining), but buyers must factor in the part-rent, any service charges and leasehold terms. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a gas central system, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow — important for home workers. The wider area has pockets of deprivation despite a multi-ethnic professional community; buyers should view to assess the immediate neighbourhood feel.
Overall, this is an entry-level opportunity to acquire a modern, well-presented flat in a desirable, well-connected pocket of N8 at a below-market entry price via shared ownership. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers seeking a manageable initial purchase with parking and easy transport into central London.
