This chain-free, third-floor one-bedroom apartment offers 520 sq ft of practical, modern living in Hendon Waterside. The open-plan living area with integrated kitchen and a private balcony brings natural light into the main living space. The double bedroom benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows and built-in storage, while the entrance hall includes two useful cupboards (one housing the washing machine and HIU).
For first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready urban base, the property’s long lease (155 years from 2012) is a strong positive. Broadband is fast and local amenities and schools are within easy reach, supporting everyday convenience and resale appeal. A rooftop garden/terrace provides additional outdoor space beyond the balcony.
Buyers should note the material ongoing costs: an annual service charge of about £3,948.44 and ground rent of £428.29. The wider area is classified as deprived and local crime is average, which may influence some buyers’ decisions. Prospective purchasers are advised to verify lease and service information with a solicitor before proceeding.
