Step into a bright, contemporary first-floor apartment arranged around an open-plan living space with direct access to a private balcony. The layout gives two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a well-presented single bathroom, all finished to a modern standard since construction in 2012 onwards. With 771 sq ft of accommodation, the flat feels larger than many comparable urban two-beds.
This is offered as a 50% shared ownership, making it a realistic purchase route for first-time buyers seeking an affordable step onto the ladder close to Harrow & Wealdstone station. The flat benefits from double glazing and fast broadband, and its location on Wealdstone High Street places shops, cafes and frequent transport links within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and there is a medium flood risk recorded for the area. Crime levels in the immediate locality are relatively high; prospective purchasers should consider security and insurance implications. The lease has approximately 114 years remaining.
Overall, this apartment suits a buyer prioritising location, modern finish and affordability via shared ownership, while willing to accept electric heating and the local area’s security and flood considerations.
