Summary - Gurney Close, Barking IG11 8LB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact first-floor flat with modern kitchen and long lease near excellent transport.
Close to Barking station and town centre
A compact, well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat a short walk from Barking town and station. The apartment benefits from a modern-style fitted kitchen, a bright 15'11" reception room and a recently issued 148-year lease, offering long-term ownership security. EPC rating C and gas central heating make it ready to move into for many buyers.
This property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking good transport links and fast broadband in a major conurbation. Practical running costs are clear: an annual service charge of approximately £1,362.37 and ground rent of £110. Council tax band B is relatively low. The flat is small (approx 534 sq ft) so storage and living space are limited.
Buyers should note wider local factors: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average recorded crime, which may affect resale or lettability and warrants local research. The building is a 1980s end-terrace block with utilitarian brickwork and communal parking; the accommodation is functional rather than luxurious.
Overall, this is an affordable, well-specified flat ready for immediate occupation or rental, provided you accept a compact layout and the location's social and safety considerations. Viewing is recommended to judge space and neighbourhood fit in person.
