This one-bedroom upper ground-floor retirement apartment at Potters Court offers practical, independent living for the over-60s in a convenient Potters Bar location. The apartment overlooks the communal rear garden and sits within a block built c.1996–2002, with double glazing, lift access and a resident house manager for added peace of mind. Communal facilities include a lounge, laundry, guest suite and residents/visitor parking (first come, first served).
The internal layout includes a spacious lounge/diner with a feature electric fireplace, a compact but functional kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a tiled shower room with emergency call. The property is chain free and comes with a long lease (approximately 101 years remaining), making it straightforward to purchase for those seeking downsizing or retirement accommodation.
Buyers should note the financial and running costs: an annual service charge of about £2,853.52 and ground rent of £774.39. Heating is by electric storage (Economy 7) and there is no mains gas, which may result in higher energy costs. The area records higher crime levels and the property has a medium flood risk flagged in the listing — both are factual considerations for safety-conscious buyers.
Overall this apartment suits a retired buyer wanting a low-maintenance base close to Potters Bar station, shops and the theatre, with built-in support and communal amenities. It offers comfortable, secure living but carries typical leasehold costs and running expenses to factor into budget and suitability checks.
