Summary - 38 HAWKESWORTH CLOSE NORTHWOOD HA6 2FT
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain‑free two‑bed flat with garage — refurbishment opportunity in prime Northwood location.
Chain free with very long lease (approx. 955 years)
Large reception room; well‑proportioned two‑bed layout
Requires full modernisation: kitchen, bathroom and heating
Private garage included; communal garden and low‑maintenance exterior
Second‑floor flat, approx 608 sq ft (small overall footprint)
Electric storage heaters; consider replacement for efficiency
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; good commuter links
Above‑average local crime rate — factor security considerations
This second-floor, two-bedroom flat in Hawkesworth Close sits in a quiet cul-de-sac close to Northwood High Street and the Metropolitan Line. The apartment offers a large reception room, a private garage and a long lease (approx. 955 years), making it attractive to first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors seeking a clear chain‑free purchase with uplift potential.
The property requires full modernisation throughout — the kitchen and bathroom are dated and the heating is by electric storage heaters — so expect refurbishment costs. With sensible investment in a new kitchen, bathroom and heating, the flat’s well‑proportioned reception and two-bedroom layout can achieve a stronger rental yield or resale premium.
Practical advantages include double glazing installed post‑2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus communal grounds and on‑site private garage. The location benefits from good schools nearby, Waitrose and local amenities, and direct Metropolitan Line access into central London.
Be candid about the downsides: the overall size is small at about 608 sq ft, the block sits in an area with above‑average crime rates, and the property is leasehold. Council tax is moderate. This is a straightforward refurbishment project for someone wanting a manageable central Northwood flat with clear potential.
