A top-floor two-bedroom flat in Manor Court, a short 0.2-mile walk from Cricklewood (Thameslink). At about 506 sq ft, the apartment makes the most of an open-plan kitchen-living room and benefits from a private balcony and secure gated allocated parking — rare for flats at this price point.
The flat is offered as shared ownership with no upper chain and around 86 years remaining on the lease. Interior fittings are dated (1970s style kitchen and living room) and the property will suit buyers who want an affordable central location to personalise and modernise rather than move into a turnkey home.
For first-time buyers and budget-conscious commuters the location is the headline: excellent access to Cricklewood station, local shops, leisure facilities and several well-rated schools nearby. Practical points to note include an above-average service charge of £553, average broadband speeds, very good mobile signal and low local crime.
This is a straightforward purchase for someone wanting an entry into NW2 with immediate commuting convenience and scope to add value through refurbishment. If you need a long lease or a fully renovated interior, this will require further investment.
