Light-filled one-bedroom apartment on Shoot Up Hill, NW2, offering comfortable living and a private west-facing balcony. The living room has high ceilings and engineered herringbone wood flooring, while the separate kitchen and modern bathroom deliver a ready-to-move-in finish. At roughly 529 sq ft the layout suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low-maintenance city living with outdoor space.
The building is a period, purpose-built block with communal gardens and lift access, set close to Kilburn and West Hampstead transport links (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) and a wide choice of cafés, shops and amenities. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed. The lease has 179 years remaining, giving long-term security for mortgage lenders.
Buyers should note the relatively high service charge of £5,130 per year and the building’s age (constructed c.1930–49) with solid brick walls that may lack modern cavity insulation. The flat’s mid-terrace context and urban outlook mean views are of the communal courtyard and neighbouring period elevations rather than open scenery.
Overall this is a well-presented, mid-sized flat with contemporary finishes and practical advantages for city living. It will suit purchasers prioritising transport links, a private balcony and turn-key condition, while those sensitive to running costs should factor in the above-average service charge.
