Practical two-bed, two-bath apartment near New Barnet station — commuter-friendly with clear running costs.
624 sq ft; first-floor two-bedroom apartment
This first-floor two-bedroom apartment in New Barnet offers practical, well-presented living across 624 sq ft. The layout suits couples or small families who need two bathrooms and convenient commuter links; New Barnet station is a short walk away. The building has a contemporary brick exterior with small balconies and an interior benefitting from double-glazed windows and a modern fitted kitchen.
Ownership is leasehold with 103 years remaining. Ongoing costs include an average service charge of £2,856 per year and ground rent of £444 per year; council tax is moderate. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and local crime levels are high — important factors for buyers to weigh.
Constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and internal insulation, the flat combines period shell with later upgrades (double glazing installed post-2002). The property is ready to occupy with no immediate major works indicated, but buyers seeking faster internet or a quieter neighbourhood should consider these limitations.
Nearby schools include several well-rated primaries and secondaries, and local amenities — shops, Tesco Express, bus links and green spaces — are all within easy reach. This is a practical, commuter-friendly apartment offering sensible space and clear running costs, best suited to those prioritising transport and local facilities over rural tranquillity.
