Property

Lakeside Lodge is a purpose-built block with a lift and landscaped communal gardens. This mid-floor flat is ready to move into, and it gives you more room than a typical two-bedroom.

The sociable heart of the flat is a 20' x 12' open-plan reception, dining and kitchen area. There is space for both a sofa and a dining table, and the kitchen runs along one side with white units, grey worktops and plenty of storage. It works for family meals, for entertaining, or for keeping an eye on the kids while you cook.

There are two genuine double bedrooms. The principal bedroom (12'11" x 11'3") has a wide window and room for storage. The second (13'4" x 11'6") is just as generous, and is currently set up as a nursery.

The separate 8'4" x 7' room sets this flat apart. It is a proper home office with its own window and radiator, away from the living space, and it also works as a nursery, a dressing room or an occasional third bedroom. In effect this is a two-bedroom flat with a third room, rather than a plain two-bed.

The bathroom has a bath with shower over and a vanity unit, and there is a separate guest WC, which is a convenience flats rarely offer.

The flat also comes with a garage, which is a big plus given how hard parking is in this part of London. As it is held on a share of freehold, the owners have a say in the running of the building.

Brent Cross (Northern line) and Hendon Central are each under a mile away, and Golders Green is just over a mile, so the Northern line is easy to reach. Brent Cross Shopping Centre and the regenerated Brent Cross Town area are close by, with the A41 and North Circular for drivers. Temple Fortune's shops and cafés and the Golders Green high street are nearby, and The Temple Fortune Club (tennis and squash) is on Bridge Lane itself. Hampstead Garden Suburb is close, with Hampstead Heath Extension to the south-east as well as many schools & places of worship.
