This two-bedroom, two-bath apartment in Faraday House offers 693 sq ft of bright, modern living designed for easy commuting and low-maintenance city life.

Residents benefit from concierge service, landscaped communal gardens, private balcony and allocated off-street parking. The development is about a 12-minute walk (0.6 miles) from the mainline station, putting central London within easy reach — a clear advantage for commuters or purchasers valuing connectivity.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold (999 years remaining) with an average service charge of £1,987. Heating is electric (room heaters) and broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, which may affect households needing high-speed internet. The apartment is newly constructed (2021) and requires no renovation, but ongoing service charges and electric heating running costs are material factors to budget for.
Overall this is a high-spec, contemporary apartment suitable for first-time buyers or professionals seeking a well-connected, low-upkeep home with attractive communal amenities and secure parking. Investors will note the strong commuter appeal, though broadband limitations and electric-only heating are aspects to weigh when considering rental demand and running costs.
