Summary - 22 BESANT ROAD LONDON NW2 2SN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Own ground-floor entrance and private access to a section of garden
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment on Besant Road offers an affordable entry into NW2 with a private street-level entrance and easy access to Cricklewood Thameslink. At around 571 sq ft the layout includes a bright reception, compact modern kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms — practical for a first home or buy-to-let. Double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC C rating keep running costs reasonable.
Transport and local amenities are genuine strengths: Cricklewood Broadway’s shops, cafes and bus routes are within walking distance, and the Thameslink station makes central London commutes straightforward. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, which may appeal to young families.
Important practical points are clear: the flat is leasehold with about 98 years remaining, an annual service charge around £1,400 and a ground rent of £10. The overall footprint is small, and the building dates from the 1950–66 era with cavity walls likely uninsulated — further insulation or modernisation could improve efficiency. The area records higher crime and local deprivation, which should be considered alongside the location benefits.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking a compact, well-connected home or an investor targeting steady rental demand. Buyers should arrange their own checks on services, fittings and building condition, and factor in the service charge and leasehold costs when assessing value.
