Well-located modern flat with balcony and excellent transport links.
Canal-facing balcony with direct Regents Canal views
This second-floor, 2-bedroom apartment in Somerston House overlooks Regents Canal and comes with a private balcony — a rare city-facing outdoor space for this part of Camden. At about 759 sq ft the layout is traditional and well-proportioned, with a separate, well-equipped kitchen and two bathrooms including an en-suite to the main bedroom. Double glazing and a 2007–2011 build date mean the flat is relatively modern and low on immediate maintenance.
Transport links are a major draw: Camden Town, Camden Road and King’s Cross St Pancras stations are all close by, making the property suitable for commuting professionals or as a rental investment. The community heating (mains gas) and recent glazing add practicality for everyday urban living.
Buyers should note material negatives upfront. The flat is leasehold, so potential purchasers must check the lease length, service charges and ground rent. The local area records very high crime rates and is assessed as deprived — factors which affect both living experience and lettability. The property is average-sized for the area and shows typical wear consistent with urban occupation; cosmetic updating may be desired depending on buyer preference.
Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking a well-located, modern flat with canal views and easy transport access. It offers clear rental or owner-occupier potential but requires due diligence on lease terms and personal assessment of local area safety and amenities.
