Compact internal area: approx 398 sq ft (small footprint)
125-year lease from 1 Jan 1989; owner pursuing extension

No service charge reported; confirm with legal checks
Electric ceiling heating; may increase running costs
Very slow broadband and high local crime rate (area deprived)
This compact ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers practical central-London living with a rare private front garden and a gated parking space. The apartment is chain-free and presented in good condition with modern finishes, making it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or straightforward to let for an investor. The garden significantly increases usable space for outdoor seating and improves lettability in a dense urban setting.
There are some important lease and running-cost considerations: the lease dates from 1 January 1989 (125-year term) and the owner has contacted the freeholder about extending it. Ground rent is £200 per year and is rising across the term. There is reportedly no service charge, but buyers should confirm all lease terms, covenant restrictions and any future liabilities before purchase.
Practical drawbacks include electric ceiling heating and very slow broadband speeds, which may affect comfort and working-from-home. The property sits in an area with high recorded crime and higher deprivation indices, so buyers seeking quieter suburbs should consider location suitability. Transport links are a strong positive: Caledonian Road tube, Barnsbury overground and quick access to King’s Cross/St Pancras.
Overall this is a compact, efficiently planned flat that gains notable value from its private garden and secured parking. It suits a buyer who prioritises central transport connections and outdoor space over internal size, or an investor targeting a lettable one-bed near major hubs.
