A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom flat offering direct access to a communal garden and off-street parking in New Barnet. The home features double glazing, gas central heating and a light living room that suits a single occupant or couple seeking a low-maintenance base close to transport and local amenities.
Practical elements include chain-free sale, an 88-year lease, modest service charge and very affordable council tax. The layout is traditional and the approximate 344 sq ft footprint makes this best as a first home, pied-à-terre or rental investment — note the small bedroom and compact kitchen and bathroom.
Known negatives are straightforward: limited internal space, below-average broadband speeds and a local area crime statistic rated high. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and external areas (driveway and facade) may need occasional upkeep.
Overall this flat is a budget-conscious, move-in-ready option for buyers prioritising location and outdoor communal space over internal square footage. It will particularly suit a first-time buyer or investor wanting a simple, low-running-cost property close to New Barnet station.
