This one-bedroom first-floor apartment at Driffield Court offers an affordable, chain-free entry into NW9, a short walk from Colindale tube station. The living room opens onto a private balcony, creating a bright social space for relaxing or light outdoor plants. At 461 sq ft the layout is compact but functional, with a separate fitted kitchen and a single bathroom.
Practical running costs and layout are straightforward: the property runs on electric storage heaters and mains electricity, and benefits from double glazing. The long lease (189 years from 1992) provides long-term security. There is residents’ off-street parking, useful in this part of London, and broadband and mobile signals are strong for remote working or streaming.
Buyers should note the material facts: an annual service charge of about £2,100, electric heating rather than gas, and the building sits in an area of relative deprivation which may affect local amenities and resale dynamics. The apartment’s age (early 1990s) and average finish mean some buyers may want to refresh fixtures or cosmetics to personalise the space.
This flat is best suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-entry London property with good transport links and immediate rental appeal. It presents comfortable, move-in accommodation with scope for modest updating to increase comfort and value.
