Summary - 289 GURNEY CLOSE BARKING IG11 8LD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, well-connected ground-floor flat with long lease and parking.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat, approx. 431 sq ft
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Gurney Close offers straightforward, well-presented accommodation and long-term security with 149 years remaining on the lease. The property includes a large double bedroom, separate lounge/diner, modern fitted kitchen and a bathroom — all arranged efficiently across approximately 431 sq ft. Double glazing and a secure entry phone add practical comfort while the flat’s compact layout suits single buyers or couples.
Connectivity is a clear benefit: Barking town centre is only minutes away with multiple tube, Overground and C2C rail links for fast journeys into Canary Wharf and the City. Residents’ off-street parking and proximity to local amenities — shops, leisure centre and schools — make day-to-day life convenient. Service charge and ground rent are modest for this area (service charge £845 per year, ground rent £0).
Buyers should note the wider context: the area rates as very deprived with above-average crime statistics. The flat is small and best suited to first-time buyers, commuters or investors seeking a lettable, low-maintenance unit rather than a family home. No onward chain makes the purchase process simpler, but expect a straightforward, urban property rather than a rural retreat.
Overall this is a practical, well-located leasehold flat that delivers transport links and low immediate costs. It’s a sensible purchase for someone prioritising connectivity and a ready-to-rent layout, provided you accept the compact size and local area challenges.
