This compact first-floor apartment offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers seeking a modern urban base. The flat has been newly renovated and benefits from a contemporary separate kitchen, built-in storage and two well-proportioned bedrooms within a 560 sq ft layout. Communal grounds and a secure purpose-built block add outdoor space and peace of mind.
Practical running costs include mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed before 2002) and an average service charge of £1,302 per year; ground rent is listed at £10. The property sits in a busy inner-city area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to Cricklewood Broadway amenities and public transport links.
Buyers should note the apartment’s small overall size and some fabric limitations typical of its era: cavity walls with assumed no added insulation. The postcode sits in a higher-crime and more deprived neighbourhood profile, which some buyers may weigh against the low entry price and strong local transport and school options.
For a first-time buyer looking for a ready-to-live-in home with modest communal outdoor space and renovation potential to add value, this property provides an affordable foot on the ladder in NW2.
