Summary - ELGAR HOUSE 11-17 FLAT 21 FAIRFAX ROAD LONDON NW6 4EX
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large, light two-bedroom with long lease and southerly balcony in Swiss Cottage.
Over 1,000 sq ft of lateral living space
Bright, top-floor living with over 1,000 sq ft of lateral space, this two-bedroom apartment sits in a purpose-built block on one of Swiss Cottage’s premier streets. The apartment’s standout feature is a 35ft reception room that flows to a southerly balcony, flooding the living space with natural light and providing excellent entertaining potential. A contemporary semi-open-plan kitchen and built-in bedroom wardrobes add convenience and a modern feel.
Practical benefits include a long lease (999 years), chain-free sale, porter service, double glazing, and mains gas heating with radiators. The flat is offered in good condition and is likely to suit buyers seeking spacious, well-proportioned accommodation in a central, well-connected location close to Swiss Cottage, Finchley Road and several transport links.
Notable considerations: the service charge is above average at £4,145.64 per year, council tax is high (Band E), and advertised broadband speeds are slow. The area records higher crime levels, so buyers prioritising very low-crime neighbourhoods should weigh this. There is a single family bathroom for two double bedrooms. Constructed in the 1950s–60s, the building’s original services may be typical of that era despite the property’s good condition.
This property will suit couples, small families, and buyers wanting generous entertaining space and long-term security from a very long lease. Investors should note the higher running costs and local crime data when modelling yields.
