Summary - Flat 15, Blue Shore Apartments, 207 Bastable Avenue, BARKING IG11 0QG
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Well-located two-bedroom maisonette near Barking station and top-rated primary schools.
Two double bedrooms split across two levels
This split-level two-bedroom maisonette offers a practical starter home or buy-to-let in Barking, arranged over two floors with well-proportioned rooms and useful built-in storage. The ground floor has a stylish lounge with a feature fireplace, separate dining room and a modern fitted kitchen, while upstairs provides two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate W/C. Full double glazing and gas central heating help keep running costs reasonable.
Location is a key strength: the apartment sits on Bastable Avenue within easy walking distance of Barking Station (Underground, Overground and c2c), local bus routes and the East London Transit. Families will value nearby schools including Thames View Infants (Ofsted Outstanding) and other primary and secondary options, plus local shops, a library and community facilities close by. A pleasant communal garden provides outdoor space without the maintenance of a private garden.
Practical facts to note: the property is leasehold with 118 years remaining, a service charge of about £128 per month (this figure includes ground rent and buildings insurance) and Council Tax Band B (£1,632 p.a.). The EPC rating is D. The wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, and while transport links and local amenities are strong, buyers should consider this context when assessing longer-term prospects.
Overall, this is a straightforward, well-located two-bedroom maisonette that suits first-time buyers looking for move-in accommodation with good transport links, or investors seeking a rentable property with established demand. The lease length and modest service charge make ownership straightforward, but the EPC rating and local area factors are realistic considerations for energy costs and longer-term value.
