A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with its own entrance, situated moments from High Barnet High Street and under half a mile from the tube station. The reception room opens to a fitted kitchen and the flat includes a double bedroom and a shower room — a compact, sensible layout for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, double glazing, and a very long lease with a share of freehold (975 years remaining). Local amenities are excellent: shops, cafes, leisure facilities and several highly regarded schools are all nearby, and Ravenscroft Park and other green spaces are within easy reach.
Be aware of a few material factors: the apartment is small (circa 430 sq ft), heated by electric storage/room heaters (no gas central heating), and the development has an annual service charge of about £1,740. Crime rates in the area are higher than average, and broadband speeds are only average — important considerations if you work from home or prioritise low running costs.
This property suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance, well-located first home or a straightforward rental asset. It offers immediate occupancy and potential to refresh finishes and personalise the interior, but it is not a turnkey family home and will appeal most to those prioritising location and long lease security over internal space or low-energy central heating.
