This ground-floor, two-bedroom flat occupies a compact 570 sq ft footprint within a Victorian terrace on Fortune Gate Road. It offers a bay-fronted living room, two bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, family bathroom and sole use of a private rear garden with a brick storage shed. The 119–120 years remaining on the lease is a useful practical advantage for a buyer seeking long-term security.
The flat is well placed for local amenities: Roundwood Park is nearby, several well-regarded primary schools are within easy reach, and Harlesden Bakerloo and Overground stations provide good transport links into central London. The accommodation is presented neutrally with double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note the property’s compact scale and some maintenance considerations. The internal area is modest and will suit a small household or couple rather than a large family. The building’s solid brick construction appears to have no wall insulation (assumed), and the rear garden shows signs of overgrowth and will need regular upkeep. The surrounding neighbourhood scores as deprived with above-average crime; purchasers should factor local context into their plans.
Practical running costs are relatively low: council tax is described as cheap, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the freehold/leasehold position leaves about 119 years on the lease with an average ground rent of approximately £300. For first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into NW10 with outdoor space and good transport and school access, this flat offers clear potential, albeit with some compromise on size and local social indicators.
