This modern one-bedroom first-floor apartment on Darkes Lane offers straightforward, low-maintenance city living close to Potters Bar station. Built in 2016, the flat benefits from lift access, a secure entryphone and allocated underground parking — practical features for commuters and buyers seeking convenience.
Inside, the open-plan living space is bright with wood flooring, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a Juliette balcony that brings extra light. The bedroom and bathroom are contemporary and efficient; the overall 523 sq ft (approx.) layout suits a single occupant or couple, or works as a buy-to-let with easy tenant appeal.
Financially, the property is chain free with 115 years remaining on the lease. Service charges are £1,958 per year (including buildings insurance) and ground rent is £75 per year — factor these into running costs. There’s no private garden and the apartment is average-sized, so outdoor space is limited.
Notable practical considerations: the area records higher crime levels than average and the site has a medium flood risk. These are important for insurance and personal security planning. Transport links are excellent (Potters Bar station ~0.2 miles), broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local schools and town amenities are within easy reach.
