- Private secluded garden backing onto the New River
- Large basement (179 sqft) with dual access
- Share of freehold, 114 years remaining

- Modest internal size: 739 sqft above ground
- Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; may need upgrading
- Above-average local crime levels to note

This ground-floor Edwardian flat offers a rare combination of a private garden backing onto the New River and substantial cellar space, all with a long share-of-freehold lease (114 years remaining). The reception room’s bay window and high ceilings retain period character, while three bedrooms and a separate kitchen give practical family-style living on one level.
The garden is the standout feature — secluded, bordered by mature planting and directly overlooking the New River, providing a peaceful outdoor room in central north London. The basement (179 sqft) extends usable space and has separate access, useful for storage or a conversion subject to permissions and investment.
Practical positives include no ground rent, an ad-hoc service charge approach, excellent local transport links (Bowes Park and Bounds Green), and nearby schools rated Good to Outstanding. The property is best suited to buyers who value outdoor space and period character and who are prepared to update and insulate solid brick interiors.
Material drawbacks are factual: overall internal size is modest (739 sqft above ground; 918 sqft including cellar), the building likely has uninsulated solid brick walls, and the area records above-average crime levels. The cellar and older construction may need modernization (insulation, heating efficiency, potential damp checks) — factor renovation costs into your offer.
