Bright, contemporary two-bedroom apartment in a new-build block, well suited to first-time buyers or shared-ownership purchasers. The open-plan living area floods with natural light through wide floor-to-ceiling windows and opens onto an east-facing private balcony — a comfortable urban spot for morning coffee. Triple-glazed windows, integrated kitchen appliances and plentiful built-in storage deliver low-maintenance living from move-in.
The development benefits from communal heating and an on-site bike store, with Barking Station about a 10-minute walk for fast rail and tube links to the City and Canary Wharf. Local shops, markets, cafes and large supermarkets are all within a short walk, while green spaces and leisure facilities are a short journey away. EWS1 certification (A2) is available.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold (shared ownership available) with around 124 years remaining, a below-average service charge and modest ground rent. The surrounding area scores high on accessibility and amenities but is in a very deprived local authority area with average crime levels — something to weigh against the strong transport links and affordability. Overall this is a low-maintenance, well-connected new-build flat that suits buyers seeking an affordable London entry point or a buy-to-let purchase, subject to shared-ownership eligibility.
