Set within an age-exclusive development in Potters Bar, this roomy two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers comfortable retirement living with generous internal space (approximately 1,110 sq ft). The block, built in the early 1990s, provides practical communal facilities including a residents’ lounge with direct access to attractive rear gardens, on-site house manager, laundry room, lift to all floors and residents/visitor parking.
The apartment is double-glazed and all-electric with wall-mounted heaters and an Economy 7 night storage heater in the lounge. The fitted kitchen and shower room are functional but reflect late-20th-century fittings—suitable for someone wanting a straightforward, low-maintenance home or a buyer considering light updating. Service charges average £3,720 per year; ground rent is nominal and the lease has 88 years remaining (original 125-year term from 1988).
Practical issues to note: broadband speeds are very slow locally and heating is electric (no gas), which may affect running costs and connectivity for some users. The wider area records higher crime rates than average, so prospective buyers should factor personal security and insurance considerations into their decision. Internal viewing is recommended to assess condition and suitability for individual care needs.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a well-provisioned retirement setting close to local amenities and transport links, who is comfortable with electric heating and is aware of the service charge and lease term. There is genuine appeal for those who value communal life, easy access to gardens and on-site support without the maintenance of a house.
