Location

Potters Bar has a very good range of local shops and other amenities and is also home to some very well regarded schools at all levels including the the Dame Alice Owen School, which is just a short walk away. There are good sporting and other facilities locally, including an indoor swimming pool and golf clubs in both Potters Bar and Brookmans Park just up the road. It is very convenient for commuters with the station and also close proximity to the M25, A1 and A10.
