Modern two-bed with garden and excellent transport links for first-time buyers.
Top two floors of a Victorian conversion, bright split-level layout
Set across the top two floors of a Victorian conversion, this split-level two-bedroom flat offers generous, modern living space ideal for a first-time buyer. The large open-plan kitchen and reception on the first floor creates a bright, sociable hub, while the principal bedroom on the upper floor benefits from an en suite and walk-in wardrobe for practical storage.
The apartment is presented in a modern style throughout but retains period character externally with a red brick façade and bay windows. At approximately 896 sq ft, the layout feels spacious for its type and includes a private garden and double glazing. Transport links are strong: Cricklewood Thameslink and nearby Willesden Green Underground provide swift routes into central London.
Practical costs and tenure are straightforward: a long lease of 123 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,135 and ground rent of £200. Council tax sits at an affordable Band C. There is no flooding risk and the property uses mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note the local context: the area records higher crime levels and parts of the neighbourhood are classed as deprived. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may mean energy-improvement work is needed to cut heating costs. These factors are balanced by the flat’s size, condition and strong transport and local amenities.
