Bright, low‑maintenance retirement living close to Potters Bar station. This second‑floor one‑bed apartment overlooks landscaped communal gardens and offers an open‑plan living/kitchen with built‑in appliances and a double bedroom with a walk‑in wardrobe. The wet room is contemporary and accessible, and the property benefits from electric underfloor heating and double glazing.
The development provides substantial on‑site support and sociable communal facilities: a homeowners’ lounge, table‑service restaurant, guest suite, laundry, landscaped gardens and an Estates Manager with 24‑hour staffing and emergency call systems. One hour of domestic assistance per week is included in the service charge; additional care packages are available if required.
Practical points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with a 125‑year lease from 2014 (115 years remaining) and an annual ground rent of £435 (next review 2029). The service charge is substantial at £10,344.94 per year and does not cover personal bills such as council tax (above‑average) or TV. Superfast fibre is available to the building, but reported broadband speeds are slow in practice.
This apartment suits buyers aged 70+ seeking a secure, community‑focused home with on‑site care options and low internal maintenance. It will particularly appeal to those valuing social facilities and garden views, but buyers should factor high running costs and leasehold terms into affordability calculations.
