A compact one-bedroom apartment arranged on a 1990s purpose-built block, set within easy reach of Barking town centre and rail connections. The accommodation includes a double bedroom, living room with fitted kitchen to the side, a three-piece bathroom and useful built-in storage in the bedroom and hallway. Residents-only permitted off-street parking and a communal garden add outdoor space that’s rare at this size.
The property benefits from a very long lease (over 160 years) and a low reported ground rent, making it straightforward for both first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. Broadband speeds are fast, mobile signal is excellent and the area has low crime and several well-rated nearby schools, which supports rental demand and day-to-day convenience.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approximately 433 sq ft) and shows some dated wear. Heating is by electric room heaters and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so upgrading heating and windows could improve comfort and reduce running costs. There is no flood risk and the building is of standard construction from the 1991–1995 period.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance entry property with clear potential for modest cosmetic improvement. It suits someone seeking a convenient starter home near transport links or an investor looking for a straightforward rental in a well-connected part of Barking.
