Summary - ARGENT COURT, 2 FLAT 30 LEICESTER ROAD BARNET EN5 5FL
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance two-bed retirement flat with on-site manager and 24-hour emergency support.
Second-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment, approx. 644 sq ft
A second-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment in Argent Court, a McCarthy & Stone development designed for over-60s. The flat offers modest, low-maintenance accommodation with an entrance hall, living room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms — about 644 sq ft overall, typical for a retirement home.
Residents benefit from strong on-site support: a Development Manager, 24-hour Appello emergency call system, lift access to all floors, communal lounge, guest suite and laundry. The long lease (circa 106 years remaining) gives security of tenure and the building was constructed in the mid-2000s with double glazing throughout.
Practical running costs and restrictions are important to note. The annual service charge (£4,588.34) is above average and the ground rent (£595) is comparatively high; event fees may also apply. Heating is by electric storage heaters — check running costs if coming from a mains-gas property. There is no private garden and views are internal to the development.
This property suits a downsizer seeking convenience, on-site support and a social communal setting, but buyers should budget for ongoing service charges, electric heating costs and confirm any additional management or event fees before purchase.
