Set on the first floor of a purpose-built block close to Kilburn High Road and Abbey Road, this compact one-bedroom apartment offers a practical London base for a first-time buyer or investor. The bright reception room benefits from large windows and space to dine; a modern, well-equipped kitchen is ready to use. Lift access and a community heating scheme add everyday convenience.
At about 408 sq ft the flat is small but efficiently arranged. The building dates from the early 20th century, with solid-brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) and some mid-century interior details that will suit someone who values character or wants to personalise. Photos indicate some dated finishes and potential minor damp in one room — buyers should inspect for any mold and cosmetic refresh needs.
Practical points: the property is leasehold, in an inner-city area with excellent transport links, fast broadband and strong mobile signal. Local amenities are abundant, from shops and cafés to schools and stations, making this a convenient city pad. However, the immediate area records higher crime statistics and relative deprivation, which may affect long-term desirability and rental demand.
This flat is best for buyers seeking an affordable entry into NW6 or landlords aiming for a centrally located rental. It offers straightforward scope to modernise and improve value, but expect to budget for cosmetic works, potential insulation upgrades, and a careful review of service charges and lease terms before committing.
