Light-filled, modern two-bedroom apartment on Lakeside Drive offering practical urban living and strong transport links. The open-plan reception with integrated kitchen and Juliet balcony creates flexible space for everyday life and occasional entertaining. Both bedrooms are doubles, and the master benefits from an en-suite bathroom — a useful feature for sharers or those wanting guest privacy.
The development includes residents’ amenities such as an on-site gym, secure allocated parking and communal gardens. The block has recently had a façade refurbishment and holds a current EWS1 certificate; service and maintenance appear to be actively managed. The long lease (239 years) and EPC B (approx. 80) support both mortgageability and energy-efficiency credentials.
Practical costs and local context are important here: an annual service charge around £2,750 and a ground rent of £570 apply. The property sits in an area recorded as very deprived with above-average crime levels, which may affect resale or rental yields despite excellent transport connections (Park Royal and Hanger Lane stations) and nearby schools.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in, low-maintenance home with commuter convenience, and buy-to-let investors looking for a let-ready two-bedroom in an established purpose-built block. Be aware of communal heating on a community scheme and the recurring service and ground rent commitments when assessing affordability.
