High Street, London NW10, 3 bedroom terraced house for sale - 67365990 | PrimeLocation
I'll keep my flat cap thanks.
Hard to compare exactly but many terraced houses are over a million for the postcode,
Share of freehold is quite good for London as it usually means that all the "houses" own the land they're built on and you're not paying ground rent to someone else and you get a good long lease.
So the price gets you the full house and effectively the land too. You do have to pay service charges though
I don't think it's that bad as you are actually getting a little house and outdoor space instead of an apartment with noise from all sides, or a lower ground floor with a small garden that people living above toss their cigarette butts into
Impossible for anyone with mobility issues having a ladder to the front door and ladders to other areas. Meets housing density targets I guess.
London is relatively cheap these days due to so many people with money leaving and very little investment money from far east and southern Europe.
Maybe it's a good opportunity.
For less than the asking price , you could get a full freehold terraced house on an actual street in other areas of London or even locally probably.
Seems a bad choice and poor value. Good luck with reselling on.
But, I can't see any way through from there on Google maps satellite view. If no-one has found the solution before I'm back from giving blood, I'm going to 'walk' around on Google Streetview and see if I can find anything.

Through the door between "Smart Internet Shop" and "Carwa Bandir" perhaps? Or the gate next to Paddy Power?
Looking at the satellite, I'm guessing the first. Goes underneath 114 and 114A.1 -

Following your link, I couldn't see the property in the description, but found a list of properties. Including this one:
https://www.primelocation.com/for-sale/details/65169658
Still above what I can justify buying, and way more expensive than my entire house here in Leicester. But, just curious about its layout. Surely there's no way that Bedroom 2 is those dimensions. Even if the floorplan is 'not to scale'.1 -

Looking at the satellite, I'm guessing the first. Goes underneath 114 and 114A.Development process
Acquired in 2005, the site posed a range of planning and logistical challenges. Being bordered by 26 separate owners, Party Wall and neighbour issues had to be approached sensitively.
Construction access was complex due to the compact nature of the site which was reachable only through a narrow alleyway.
Layout and massing
The scheme is accessed via a narrow passage from the high street.
