This spacious two-bedroom split-level conversion offers over 1,000 sq ft of flexible living across three floors — rare for a central-London flat and especially appealing to first-time buyers seeking room to grow. High ceilings and large sash-style windows create bright, airy rooms; a semi-open kitchen with breakfast bar and an informal terrace provide good social space for entertaining. The rear garden is shared but has been informally divided for private use, giving practical outdoor space in a busy neighbourhood.
Practical points are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with about 106 years remaining and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, making the property convenient for home-working. The location is a major selling point — minutes from Finsbury Park station (Underground and National Rail) and close to parks, shops and local cafés.
Buyers should note material, factual drawbacks. The building is an early-20th-century brick terrace with solid walls and no recorded cavity insulation — additional insulation or upgrades may be needed. The balcony/terrace is currently unofficial and any formal change of use or conversion to a private roof terrace would be subject to planning and building control (STPP). The local area records very high crime and above-average deprivation indices; that is an important factor for some buyers and for rental prospects.
Overall this is a large, characterful central-London flat with genuine potential for comfortable living or investment, provided buyers accept the leasehold status and the area’s local challenges. It suits purchasers wanting space, transport links and period charm with scope for targeted improvements.
