Set across two floors of a period mid‑terrace, this roomy first‑floor flat offers two double bedrooms and generous living space across about 1,020 sq ft. High ceilings and a bay‑front reception bring light and character, while modern touches — including air conditioning in three rooms and double glazing — make day‑to‑day life comfortable. The property is chain‑free and has 149 years remaining on the lease, simplifying purchase for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors.
Location is a strong practical draw: quiet, tree‑lined Ancona Road sits within walking distance of Willesden Junction, Kensal Rise and Kensal Green stations, plus local shops, cafés and schools rated Good. The layout includes a separate fitted kitchen and room for dining/living flexibility; there’s clear scope to reconfigure upper storage or loft space subject to consent to add value.
Be candid about the negatives: the area records higher crime levels and displays signs of local deprivation, which may affect longer‑term capital growth and rental demand. The building’s brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so further upgrading to improve energy efficiency may be required. Tenure is leasehold — though long at 149 years — and any conversion or extension would need planning approval.
Overall this is a substantial, well‑located period flat for buyers seeking spacious rooms and transport convenience, with realistic refurbishment potential to increase comfort and value. Council Tax band C and the chain‑free sale are practical benefits for a buyer ready to invest modestly in energy improvements and cosmetic updating.
