A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat arranged for comfortable, low-maintenance living. The layout includes a lounge/diner with patio access, a compact kitchen and bathroom, and built-in bedroom storage — practical for someone looking to downsize without losing everyday conveniences. The block offers communal facilities including a lounge, lift, landscaped garden and residents’ parking, and it sits close to Potters Bar station and local shops for easy travel and errands.
Practical costs and conditions are clear: the lease has about 102 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £350 and average service charges around £3,208. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property runs on electric supply, so running costs should be checked against personal budgets. The secure communal entrance provides peace of mind, and the private patio offers a pleasant spot for fresh air.
Important considerations: this is a designated retirement scheme with age restrictions (main resident usually 60+, second person 55+), and the area is noted for higher crime and a medium flooding risk — both factors to weigh for personal safety and insurance. The flat is average-sized (c. 441 sq ft) and may suit buyers seeking modest, manageable accommodation rather than large living spaces. Prospective buyers should verify services, heating and electrics independently.
