Chain free two-bedroom first-floor apartment
This chain-free two-bedroom first-floor apartment in New Barnet offers a bright, practical home ideal for first-time buyers or young professionals. The large reception room opens onto a private balcony, creating a pleasant living space for relaxing or entertaining. Secure underground parking and a long lease (131 years) are notable conveniences.
The fitted kitchen and three-piece bathroom are functional, though the property reflects its era (constructed 1976–1982) and would benefit from cosmetic updating to match modern tastes. Double glazing was installed before 2002; buyers seeking the latest thermal efficiency may wish to consider upgrades. Service charge and ground rent are typical for a block of this size (approximately £2,400 pa service charge, £250 ground rent).
Location is a strong selling point: New Barnet mainline, High Barnet Northern line and Cockfosters Piccadilly line are all within easy reach, plus frequent bus links. Local supermarkets, leisure facilities and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are close by, making the area well suited to families or commuters. Low local crime and good mobile signal add everyday reassurance.
Overall, this apartment represents a sensible entry into the area’s market: comfortable and well-located now, with straightforward potential to add value through modernisation. Buyers should budget for cosmetic improvements and potential heating/glazing upgrades if prioritising energy performance.
