This chain-free two double-bedroom flat offers practical, well-proportioned living across about 685 sq ft in a low-rise purpose-built block. The apartment has a large reception room, separate kitchen, built-in storage and lift access, with communal gardens outside — a straightforward home or rental unit that’s ready to occupy.
Financially the position is appealing: a very long lease (945 years), low service charge (£25/month) and modest ground rent (£30/year). Transport links are good for NW10 with Harlesden (Bakerloo & Overground) and frequent buses nearby, supporting both owner-occupiers and buy-to-let demand.
There are some clear limitations to note. Heating is by electric room heaters only and main fuel is electricity, which can raise running costs. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and walls are cavity without added insulation (assumed), so upgrading heating and insulation would improve comfort and value. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and local crime levels are above average — factors to weigh for families or longer-term residents.
Overall this is a competitively priced, average-sized two-bed with scope for light modernization of the kitchen and bathroom to increase resale or rental income. It will suit first-time buyers seeking affordable entry in NW10, hands-on buyers willing to improve the flat, or investors targeting steady rental demand in an established renting-families area.
