This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, is listed at £139,950. The property is located in Potters Court on Darkes Lane, offering convenient access to local amenities, including a train station with links to London. Nearby schools, including Chase House School and The Orchard School (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), are also within close proximity. The apartment itself is of a modest size (624 sq ft) and comes with one bedroom, one bathroom, and access to communal gardens. The provided images suggest the property is generally clean and habitable, but the fixtures and fittings appear dated, suggesting that some modernisation may be beneficial to improve its overall condition. The price may be attractive for those seeking a retirement property in a convenient location, but potential buyers should be prepared for potential renovation costs. The lack of private outdoor space is a notable consideration. The apartment is part of a larger retirement development, offering communal facilities which is a significant factor in the property’s appeal. The lack of private garden and plot size is a drawback. However, given its location, the proximity to amenities and the communal facilities within the complex, the relative affordability could make it attractive for a particular type of buyer.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
