Set over 570 sq ft, this first‑floor one-bedroom apartment offers a larger-than-average reception room, separate kitchen and dedicated residents’ parking — rare for the area. The purpose-built block sits around communal gardens and benefits from good natural light and a practical open living/dining layout, making it suitable for comfortable everyday living and home-working.
The location is well connected: Cricklewood station (Thameslink), local shops, cafés and Brent Cross are all close by. Council Tax is affordable and the building date (1983–1990) means the construction is relatively modern. The flat’s size and rental appeal also make it a plausible buy-to-let or first-home option for buyers looking to be well placed for transport and local amenities.
Buyers should note a few important facts: the property is leasehold with a described “low lease” (remaining term not provided) — this is material and should be checked before proceeding. Annual service charge is £1,732 and ground rent £100. Heating is via electric storage heaters (electric main fuel), which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown.
Overall, this apartment offers strong location and size advantages for first-time buyers or investors, but the lease length, running costs and service charges are key considerations to verify at an early stage.
