Upper-floor apartment with garage and communal gardens near Central line.
Chain-free studio flat ideal for first-time buyers or investors
A compact, chain-free studio in Harefield House, perfect for a first step on the ladder or a buy-to-let purchase. The main living area benefits from a large side window and a separate fitted kitchen, making the layout more usable than an open-plan studio. A lockable storage cupboard and an included garage add useful storage and secure parking — rare for flats of this size.
The building has secure entry, maintained communal gardens and a pleasant suburban setting close to shops and the Central line for fast city access. The long lease (c.955 years), low local crime and very affluent area classification provide long-term confidence for owners and investors.
Practical considerations: heating is electric, which can be more expensive than gas, and the apartment is small (c.356 sq ft) so storage and living space are limited. The property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,400 — factor this into running costs. The building’s 1970s concrete style and communal design mean communal maintenance and aesthetic choices are shared responsibilities.
Overall this flat works well for a single occupant or couple seeking a low‑maintenance base with excellent transport links, or an investor after a straightforward rental in a strong local market. Any buyer seeking larger living areas or gas central heating should look elsewhere.
