Bright one-bedroom near Gladstone Park and Jubilee line stations.
Chain-free top-floor duplex with long 146-year lease
This top-floor upper duplex one-bedroom flat sits within a converted Victorian semi and offers a bright, well-presented living space ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan reception benefits from high ceilings and a large front window, while the separate kitchen opens onto a Juliet balcony. The full second floor is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and eaves storage.
Practical advantages include a long lease (146 years), chain-free sale, affordable council tax and low ground rent (£78). Heating is provided by a mains-gas boiler and radiators; the property has double glazing (installation date unknown). Transport links are strong with Willesden Green and Kilburn (Jubilee) and Cricklewood (Thameslink) nearby, and Gladstone Park a short walk away for outdoor recreation.
Notable drawbacks are the property’s modest overall size (approximately 477 sq ft) and the local area’s higher crime rate, which may concern some buyers. The building’s original solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, which could mean higher heating costs or future retrofit work. On-street parking is available but not guaranteed.
Overall this duplex offers straightforward, low-entry ownership in a well-connected NW2 location. It will suit someone seeking a compact, characterful home near green space and transport, or an investor looking for a lettable one-bedroom in a sought-after pocket of north-west London.
