Chain-free, share-of-freehold one-bed in Queen's Park, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain free with share of freehold
A bright one-bedroom first-floor flat on The Avenue, offered chain free with a share of freehold. The reception benefits from high ceilings and large windows that keep the open-plan living/kitchen area feeling airy and light. At around 485 sq ft, the layout suits a first-time buyer, investor or pied-à-terre seeking a ready-to-move-in home in a sought-after Queen's Park pocket.
Practical running costs are clear: low annual service charge (£500), small ground rent (£100) and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. The property sits close to Salusbury Road’s cafes and shops and has excellent transport links (Queen’s Park Bakerloo and Brondesbury Park Overground), supporting both commuter and rental demand. There is a garage and garden linked to the building for extra convenience.
Notable considerations are factual: the building dates from c.1900–1929 and walls are solid brick with no defined insulation, so heating efficiency may be below modern standards. Glazing details are not defined. The local area records above-average crime levels, which should be weighed against the convenience and amenities. Council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk recorded.
Overall, this is a tidy, well-located flat requiring no immediate cosmetic work and offering straightforward ownership (share of freehold, chain free). It will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising location, transport access and period character with modern open-plan living, but buyers mindful of insulation and local crime statistics should factor those into their decision.
