Chain-free two-bedroom ground-floor apartment, approx. 581 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offering straightforward, affordable entry to NW9. At around 54 sqm (581 sq ft) the layout includes two double bedrooms, a southwest-facing living room, galley kitchen with rear access to communal gardens and a modern family bathroom — practical space for a first home or buy-to-let.
The flat is offered chain-free with a long lease (approximately 111 years) and a below-average service charge of £883. Its ground-floor position and communal garden are convenient, while the building’s mid-20th-century brick construction and double glazing (install date unknown) keep maintenance simple. Good local transport links (Colindale Tube nearby and easy A5 access) and nearby amenities (Morrisons, Asda, Bang Bang food hall) add everyday convenience.
Be factual about drawbacks: the property sits in an area with high recorded crime and wider local deprivation indicators, and the exterior cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation — this may affect energy costs and future upgrade needs. Broadband speeds are average and the home uses mains gas boiler and radiators. Buyers should verify service charge and lease details with their solicitor and budget for any insulation, aesthetic upgrades or works to maximise comfort and value.
For a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-move-in, lower-maintenance flat close to transport and local shops, this apartment represents practical value. Its modest size and communal outdoor space suit a single occupant, couple, or investor prioritising location and straightforward running costs over private garden space or generous room sizes.
