Compact, modern 2-bed with excellent station access — ideal for first-time buyers and commuters.
Top-floor two-bed, two-bath apartment, built 2017
This top-floor two-bedroom, two-bath apartment in Albany Gate is a modern, commuter-friendly home built in 2017. At about 547 sq ft it offers an open-plan living/kitchen area, a principal bedroom with en-suite and useful storage — well suited to first-time buyers or professionals needing easy rail access. Triple-glazed windows and contemporary fixtures give a low-maintenance, move-in-ready feel.
Practical positives include a long 140-year lease, off-street permit parking, granite worktops and integrated kitchen appliances. The location is a major selling point: moments from Potters Bar station, shops, cafes and restaurants on Darkes Lane, with several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby.
Be aware of material downsides: the flat is compact, with a total size described as small (547 sq ft). Service charges (approximately £2,035 pa) and ground rent (approx. £395 pa) are notable recurring costs. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, and recorded local crime levels are high — factors to weigh if working from home or prioritising quiet streets.
Overall this apartment offers low-fuss modern living and excellent transport links, but buyers should budget for service charges, consider parking/permit limitations, and test connectivity and local safety conditions before committing.
