Homes in Willesden
Willesden Green and Harlesden are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them substantial red-brick houses that have been split into flats. Dollis Hill and Neasden have interwar semis and terraces, while Kensal Green on the southern edge mixes Victorian streets with conservation areas.
The area has a large stock of period conversions as well as post-war estates around Church End and Stonebridge, which has been extensively redeveloped. The railway corridors and the North Circular create noise and some vibration issues for houses backing onto them. Prices are lower than neighbouring Queen's Park and Kensal Rise, so many buyers take on renovation projects, which makes checking the quality of recent building work especially important.
Areas we cover include Willesden Green, Harlesden, Dollis Hill, Neasden, Kensal Green.
