A bright two-bedroom ground-floor apartment set within a handsome Victorian building on Walm Lane, ideal for a first home. The living room’s large south-facing bay window and high ceilings create an airy, welcoming space; original period details add character throughout. The layout includes a separate kitchen, family bathroom and two bedrooms arranged over an average-sized 616 sq ft footprint.
Outside, residents enjoy side access to a well-maintained communal garden and first-come-first-serve off-street parking — useful urban conveniences. The property comes with a share of freehold and an unusually long underlying lease of 998 years, providing tenure stability for buyers. Note the service charge is currently £2,400 per year (including sinking fund) and council tax band is moderate.
Location is a major asset: Gladstone Park, The Dell and Queen’s Park are all within walking distance, and several good local schools serve families. Transport links are strong with Willesden Green (Jubilee Line) and nearby Overground/Thameslink stations offering quick central London commutes. Local amenities include cafés, gyms and an expanding restaurant scene.
This apartment is a straightforward, characterful starter home with long-lease security and outside space — suited to buyers seeking a live-in property with period charm and convenient commuting. Buyers should budget for the annual service charge and expect typical Victorian-era maintenance needs in an older building.
