Summary - 43 CUTHBERGA CLOSE BARKING IG11 8BS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Newly renovated two-bedroom with parking and a long 99-year lease.
Chain free two-bedroom second (top) floor apartment
This chain-free, newly renovated two-bedroom apartment sits on the second (top) floor of a modern purpose-built block close to Barking town centre and station. The layout is traditional with a bright bay-fronted lounge, fitted kitchen accessed through an arched opening, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. New flooring, fresh decoration and replaced electric heating have been completed prior to sale.
Practical details suit a first-time buyer: a long 99-year lease remains, an allocated off-street parking space is included and broadband and mobile signals are reported as strong. Local amenities are immediate — shops, cafés, banks and frequent transport links are within walking distance — and several primary and secondary schools rated Good are nearby.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,400 and ground rent of £400 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no gas central heating) and the area is classified as deprived with a very high local crime rate; buyers should factor in neighborhood considerations and personal security measures.
Overall this is a straightforward, move-in ready purchase for someone seeking an affordable, well-located starter home or rental investment in a major conurbation. It offers immediate usability with scope for cosmetic updates and holds potential for rental demand thanks to transport links and local services.
