This larger-than-average one-bedroom garden flat sits on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Fordwych Road and offers a rare combination of period charm and contemporary finish. High ceilings and a bay window fill the living room with light, while the contemporary kitchen and bathroom mean you can move in with minimal immediate work. The 46 ft private garden is a standout asset for outdoor living, growing space, or entertaining.
Transport and local amenities are strong selling points. West Hampstead’s shops, cafés and restaurants are close by and Kilburn’s Jubilee Line and Overground connections make central London easily reachable. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and everyday connectivity.
Practical details support a straightforward purchase: a long lease of 173 years and a below-average service charge of £680. The building dates from the 1930s–40s, so the flat has solid-brick construction and attractive period features; however, insulation may be limited and could be improved if desired. The property is offered in excellent condition but, as a leasehold apartment, ongoing running costs (council tax, service charge) and the tenure type should be considered.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or a couple looking for a ready-to-live-in home with private outdoor space close to good schools and strong transport links. It combines comfortable, well-maintained interiors with a rare garden in this part of NW2, while leaving scope to personalise in the future.
