Set on the first floor of a purpose-built block, this two-double-bedroom flat offers practical, ready-to-live-in accommodation in a well-kept development. The large lounge provides space for dining and relaxing, and the master bedroom benefits from an en suite. Private off-street parking and tidy communal gardens add convenience and pleasant outlooks.
The property will suit first-time buyers or sharers seeking a straightforward home near East Finchley (Northern Line, Zone 3) with local shops and good schools nearby. The layout is traditional with a separate fitted kitchen and bright rooms finished in neutral tones, making it easy to personalise.
Buyers should note material considerations: the lease has about 74 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage availability and could require lease-extension costs. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. There is a contemporary family bathroom described as small with dated fixtures and signs of water damage that will need repair.
Ongoing ownership costs are clear: an annual service charge around £2,316 and a small ground rent of £75. The flat is chain free and offered at an accessible price point for the area, presenting potential for improvement and value uplift if common lease and heating issues are addressed.
