A well-presented top (second) floor one-bedroom apartment in a modern purpose-built block, arranged around communal gardens with an allocated parking space.

The block sits roughly equidistant from High Barnet Northern Line and New Barnet mainline stations (about 0.6 mile), making commutes straightforward.

Ground rent of £250 pa will be reduced to zero once the extension completes. Service charge is around £1,200 pa and council tax is in an affordable band C. The property is offered on a leasehold basis.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking easy transport links and low-maintenance living, or an investor wanting a straightforward rental proposition. Note the short current lease term until the extension completes, and budget for the service charge when assessing monthly costs.
