This raised-ground Victorian two-bedroom maisonette combines genuine period character with private outdoor space — rare for this price band in NW4. High ceilings, bay windows and original fireplaces give the principal rooms charm and strong natural light. The property benefits from a long lease (108 years), its own entrance and a secluded rear garden with a large outbuilding suitable for a home office or gym.
At roughly 496 sq ft the accommodation is compact and efficiently arranged: an open-plan kitchen/living area, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with both bath and separate walk-in shower. The layout will suit a first-time buyer, couple or small family seeking move-in potential close to Hendon Central (about a 10-minute walk, circa 25 minutes to Central London). Local schools, shops and transport links are all within easy reach.
There are practical points to note: the overall size is small, and the building shows signs of age and maintenance needs (ivy on elevations noted, possible damp in places and timber-frame walls likely without modern insulation). Annual service charge and small ground rent apply (approx. £1,200 and £50). Crime levels in the area are above average — purchasers should factor security and renovation budgets into their plans. For buyers willing to invest in updating, the flat offers solid period features, outdoor space and good transport links in an affluent NW4 neighbourhood.
