Bright sixth-floor apartment with concierge and roof garden, close to King’s Cross transport.
Private balcony with far-reaching city views
Set on the sixth floor of the Onyx Apartments, this one-bedroom apartment offers a bright, low‑maintenance home with a private balcony and far-reaching city views. The open-plan reception and fully fitted kitchen create an easy-living layout; the dual-aspect double bedroom includes full‑length fitted wardrobes. Residents benefit from 24‑hour concierge, bike storage and a communal roof garden — practical extras for a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle.
The long lease (992 years) provides tenure security uncommon for many London flats. Transport links are excellent, with King’s Cross and St Pancras within easy walking distance, plus fast broadband and strong mobile signal for staying connected.
Important considerations: service charges are substantial (approximately £3,061 pa) and there is a ground rent of £500 pa. Council tax is above average (Band E). The wider area records very high crime and some local deprivation, which buyers should factor into safety and security planning. Heating is supplied via a community scheme — check costs and arrangements before committing.
This apartment suits downsizers or retirees seeking a well‑located, modern home with on-site services and minimal upkeep. It also appeals to buyers prioritising transport links and communal facilities, but budget and safety concerns should be reviewed carefully.
