A compact two-bedroom ground‑floor flat offering 539 sqft of practical living space with a private garden — a good entry point to NW2 for first-time buyers. The main bedroom benefits from a period bay window; the semi-open plan reception with kitchen opens directly onto the garden, giving outdoor space that’s rare at this size.
This property comes chain free with a long lease (994 years) and a share of freehold, removing common long‑lease constraints and ongoing ground rent concerns. Transport is a strong selling point: Willesden Green and Dollis Hill Jubilee Line stations are within easy reach, plus local cafés, shops and Gladstone Park are nearby.
There are a few material points to note. The overall footprint is small and suits those needing efficient space rather than large rooms. The building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and the double glazing installation date is unknown — further insulation or window upgrades may be beneficial to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
Local social metrics show above‑average crime and area deprivation indicators, which some buyers will want to consider alongside the convenient transport and schooling options. Council tax is affordable and broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting home working and connectivity.
