Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, an EPC rating of B, mains gas via a community heating scheme, and very low flood risk. The property sits within easy walking distance of Barking Riverside Station and the Riverside Pier (Uber Boat), giving direct links into the city and local shops, leisure facilities and schools.

The building is part of a newer riverside development and the surrounding area has mixed socio-economic indicators; this brings good transport and schooling options but some local deprivation.
Overall, this apartment suits someone seeking a spacious, low-maintenance urban home with strong transport connections and modern fittings, provided they accept leasehold ownership and the ongoing service charge.
