This two-bedroom apartment on Chamberlayne Road puts Kensal Rise’s cafés, shops and transport links on your doorstep. The main living room is bright and generous, centred around a built-in floor-to-ceiling media unit and high ceilings that give the space real presence. The compact, long galley kitchen offers plenty of worktop and rich wood cabinetry in an earthy deep-green scheme. The bathroom is simple and clean with white tiles and a splash of electric blue.
Both bedrooms are well proportioned: the principal bedroom benefits from extensive fitted storage, while the second room is currently used as a home office, demonstrating flexible layouts for first-time buyers needing space to live and work. The flat extends to about 635 sq ft, with double glazing noted (install date unknown) and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Practical details are straightforward: leasehold with about 107 years remaining, a modest service charge of £500 (below average) and a small ground rent of £50. There is no flood risk and broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful for remote working. The building is a mid-terrace, constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so buyers should expect typical period-property heating and insulation considerations.
Location is the key strength: Chamberlayne Road’s independent shops and Queen’s Park green space are moments away, with Kensal Rise Overground and Queen’s Park stations giving swift central London access. Be candid about local conditions: crime levels are flagged as high in the area, so consider security measures. Overall, this property suits a first-time buyer seeking characterful living, excellent connectivity and low initial service costs, with some expected period-property maintenance and improvement potential.
