Property Description
This is a high spec 2 bed ground floor garden flat in a quiet road in Willesden Green. Bay front Victorian mid terrace building. 57sqm currently, making it a large 2 bed flat.
The ceilings are about 3m high in the front of the property. High quality fittings in the flat with oiled oak floors period features and professional finish. Full renovation about 6 years ago and freshly painted this year.
The front of the house was stripped and repainted this year. New gas combi boiler, which is less than 2 years old, fitted with magnetic filter. Fitted kitchen and bathroom.
Flat is shared freehold with upstairs so no landlords or fees. Plenty of features such as period dado rails, skirting, ceiling rose and cornicing. Wood floors have 2 layers of insulation.
Access to fiber optic broadband and can be fully networked during basement fitting.
It comes with planning permission granted for about 50sqm basement area. That will be about 110sqm total space after work. I have drawings to make this a 4 bed and the flat has the potential to add up to 75sqm if you want to change plans and dig out the whole footprint. That could be up to 5 bedrooms with about 130sqm if you excavate the whole footprint of the property.
Comes with many 3D plans for current layout as well as 3D basement plans for a number of layouts. I can supply these after sale with well over 30 3D floor plans of current layout and basement options worth £1000's of pounds (~3 2D plan for planning was £1500 alone). 3D drawings allow for 4 bedrooms depending on the layout you choose (planning may need updating).
