The property benefits from double glazing, a private garden outlook from the bedroom and easy street-level access.

The immediate area records higher crime levels and a medium flood risk; purchasers should verify insurance and security needs.
Financially the flat is leasehold with a long remaining term of 155 years and a service charge around £1,725 (average) — factor these costs into affordability calculations. Overall, this property is best suited to first-time buyers seeking a commuter-friendly, low-maintenance starter home or investors wanting a lettable central-NW9 unit.
