Set directly opposite Oakwood (Piccadilly Line) this bright two-double-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, roomy living for a first-time buyer or investor. The living room stretches to about 17ft and the separate fitted kitchen and bathroom are well presented, so the property is easy to move into with minimal immediate work.
Practical extras include allocated garage en-bloc, a separate lockable storage room, loft access, double glazing and gas central heating. The long lease (circa 980 years) and share of freehold reduce long-term tenure risks, while communal gardens add outside space without maintenance headaches.
Be aware of running costs: the service charge is around £2,280 pa and local council tax is above average. The building dates from the late 1960s/70s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so consider potential insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. Overall, this is a well-located, chain-free flat offering solid transport links and good scope for modest upgrades to improve comfort and value.
