This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Parkfield Road offers an affordable entry into Harrow with a long lease of 139 years and effectively no service charge or meaningful ground rent. The layout includes a bright reception room, fitted kitchen and modern bathroom, plus a double bedroom — sensible accommodation in around 505 sq ft.
Outside, the property benefits from a private driveway for off-street parking and a rear garden, a rare combination at this price. The location is quiet and residential yet close to local shops, multiple schools (including highly rated Whitmore High School) and strong transport links into Central London, making it well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
There are some material points to note: the building dates from the 1930s and has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, so heating demand could be higher than newer stock. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. The interior is generally dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value.
The area is a lively, multicultural part of Harrow with a wide range of nearby amenities. Crime levels are above average locally, so purchasers should factor security and insurance considerations into their plans. Overall, this property is a practical, low-running-cost opportunity for someone seeking an affordable London foothold with good future rental or resale potential.
