A large three-bedroom ground-floor flat with direct access to a shared garden and private off-street parking. The apartment offers 691 sqft (64 sqm) of traditional living space arranged around a spacious reception room, three good-sized bedrooms and a fitted kitchen. Its long 985-year share-of-freehold lease removes a common future worry for buyers.
The property requires full modernisation, offering clear scope to add value through updating the kitchen, bathroom, heating controls and internal finishes. The building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing installed before 2002 — buyers should budget for thermal improvements and possible upgrading of windows and insulation.
Location is a principal strength: short walk to Cricklewood (Thameslink) with links to the Jubilee and Northern lines, strong local shops and several highly regarded schools nearby. Practical features include mains gas boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Notable negatives are that the immediate area is classed as deprived with very high crime rates; prospective buyers should factor this into security and insurance considerations. The flat needs renovation throughout, and some structural or services checks are recommended due to the property’s age and solid-wall construction.
