A bright two-bedroom apartment in a modern purpose-built block on Darkes Lane, offering 883 sq ft of open-plan living tailored to commuters and first-time buyers. The large living/kitchen space features wood flooring, recessed lighting and floor-to-ceiling doors that flood the room with light; the principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and a private en-suite. Underground reserved parking and double glazing add practical convenience.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold (125-year term started 25 March 2016, c.116 years remaining), with a six-monthly service charge of £1,550.56 (approx. £3,111.12 per year) and a small ground rent of £150 per year. Limited lenders are available for this development, so buyers should confirm mortgage availability early.
Location is a strong selling point — Potters Bar station and local shops are within easy walking distance, with fast rail links into central London. Nearby schools include several highly regarded options, and local parks and leisure facilities are close by, making this a convenient base for commuters or couples starting out.
Buyers should note two risk factors: the area records higher crime levels and the site has a medium flooding risk. Both are facts to weigh against the apartment’s size, finish and excellent transport links; a survey and local checks are recommended before committing.
