A compact two-bedroom cottage close to Harrow on the Hill, this property offers an attractive mix of period character and practical living space. The full-length through lounge with hardwood floors flows to a private, fenced rear garden with a raised deck and a substantial timber summerhouse with a brick fireplace — a rare outdoor entertaining space for this size of home. The contemporary kitchen and well-finished ground-floor bathroom make the house move-in ready for many buyers.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, good commuter links (walking distance to Harrow on the Hill station), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The home’s footprint (approximately 779 sq ft / 72.3 sqm) and two double bedrooms suit first-time buyers or a small family seeking manageable running costs; council tax is described as moderate and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should note a few important facts: the listing text refers to a Victorian cottage but construction metadata indicates 1967–1975 — this discrepancy should be clarified. The property’s walls are recorded as cavity with no insulation (assumed), and double glazing installation date is unknown, so energy efficiency upgrades could be needed. The plot is small and the local area records very high crime levels, which may influence buyer decisions.
Overall, this is a characterful, conveniently located two-bedroom home with useful outdoor space and clear potential. It will particularly suit first-time buyers who prioritise location and a private garden, and who are prepared to consider targeted improvements to insulation and glazing for long-term comfort and running-cost savings.
