A bright, west-facing one-bedroom retirement apartment in Potters Court, offered chain free and designed for independent over‑60s living. The flat benefits from a resident house manager, 24‑hour Appello emergency call system and communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite and well-kept gardens. It sits opposite Wyllyotts Theatre and close to Potters Bar mainline station, shops and local amenities.
The accommodation includes a spacious lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a walk-in shower room. Practical features include lifts to all floors, off‑street residents and visitor parking (first‑come, first‑served), double glazing and economy seven electric storage heating. The lease has long remaining terms (around 97+ years) and buildings insurance is included in the service charge.
Important considerations: annual service charges and ground rent are significant (service charge approx £2,684.70; ground rent £774.39). Heating is by electric storage heaters and there is no mains gas. The property is in a medium flood‑risk area and local crime levels are reported as high. Broadband is average (FTTP not available). Buyers should budget for ongoing service costs and be comfortable with an electric‑heated, leasehold retirement scheme environment.
