This second-floor two-double-bedroom flat on Harlington High Street offers an accessible, chain-free entry into UB3. The layout delivers a spacious lounge, fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom, with communal gardens and an entry phone system adding practical convenience. With 111 years remaining on the lease and modest service charges, the home suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking straightforward local rental demand.
Location is a clear strength: shops, buses and quick access to Hayes & Harlington and Hatton Cross stations, plus the M4 and Heathrow nearby. The block is a mid‑20th‑century build with mostly average room sizes; the flat benefits from secondary glazing and maintained communal areas.
There are important practical considerations. Heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which can mean higher running costs. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and local crime levels are above average; buyers should factor these into affordability and management plans. There appears to be no allocated parking or private garden.
Overall, this property represents a practical, low‑entry purchase with clear commuter benefits and rental potential. It will suit buyers prepared to accept electric heating and to update aspects such as broadband and bathroom style over time.
