Austen Court Flat 15 is a ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment offering accessible living and long lease security. The 537 sq ft layout features an unusually long reception and bedroom (both about 19ft), a fitted bathroom, built-in bedroom wardrobe and direct access to well-kept communal gardens.
The development includes on-site management, a communal lounge and laundry room, plus residents’ and visitors’ parking — useful for independent retirees with occasional visitors. The block was constructed within the last two decades and benefits from double glazing and cavity wall insulation.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with a service charge (circa £3,594 pa) and ground rent (£495 pa). It is chain-free and has about 107 years remaining on the lease, making it straightforward to purchase but with ongoing service costs to budget for.
Location is a key strength: Grovelands and Oakwood Parks are within walking distance, and both Southgate (Piccadilly line) and Winchmore Hill stations are close by for connections across London. Local shops, buses and community amenities are all nearby, making this a convenient, low-crime option for a retiree wanting an active neighbourhood base.
