This two-bedroom Victorian cottage on Bessborough Road offers a compact, well-lit layout ideal for a first-time buyer seeking central Harrow convenience. The through lounge creates a versatile living and dining space, and large windows at both ends bring plentiful natural light. The fitted kitchen and ground-floor bathroom are functional, presenting a turnkey option with scope to personalise.
Outside, a private fenced garden with a raised deck and lawn is an uncommon asset for central locations and extends living space for entertaining or children. The property is freehold and benefits from excellent transport links — Harrow on the Hill, Harrow & Wealdstone and South Harrow stations are all within easy reach, useful for commuters.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the plot is small with limited scope for external expansion, the walls are solid brick with no known insulation (typical of the era), and the property will likely benefit from some modernisation to maximise comfort and value. Crime in the immediate area is recorded as very high; prospective buyers should factor local safety measures and insurance considerations into their plans.
Overall, this compact period home suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a centrally-located property with a private garden and good transport links. With modest updating and insulation improvements, it offers sensible long-term potential in Harrow’s HA1 market.
