This ground-floor two-double-bedroom flat offers a rare private rear garden and a long share-of-freehold title, ideal for a first-time buyer or small family seeking outdoor space in NW10. The apartment’s 565 sq ft layout feels bright: French doors from the reception and double glazing bring in light, while high bedroom ceilings and a bay window add period character. A sizeable 24m rear garden creates scope for a summerhouse or low-cost landscaping to extend usable space.
Practical positives include a very long lease (982 years), mains gas central heating, modern bathroom fittings and fast broadband/strong mobile signal. There is clear potential to add value through an extension or internal refurbishment, subject to planning consent — a genuine opportunity for someone prepared to invest. Interior rooms are compact but functional, with a separate galley kitchen and contemporary-style living space.
Be realistic about the setting: the property sits in a deprived area with above-average crime statistics and a local profile of young families and students, which can mean more activity and noise. The building dates from 1900–1929 and walls are likely uninsulated; additional insulation or upgrades may be required to improve comfort and running costs. Any extension plans will need the usual consents and cost assessment.
Overall, this flat suits a buyer prioritising outdoor space, long lease security and upside through refurbishment or extension, rather than someone seeking a large, turn-key home. The price reflects the apartment’s compact size and the surrounding area’s characteristics, but the combination of share of freehold and a long garden offers tangible value for the right purchaser.
