Property in Primrose Hill ranges from the pastel-coloured dollshouses overlooking the park, to a smattering of post-War development and the occasional boat

Cumberland Basin, NW1, £190,000

A one-bedroom property in Primrose Hill for under £200k?

Nonetheless, for a secure, gated Regent’s Park-side location and a property in good nick, there’s plenty of advantages to this floating home.
