Summary - Flat 704 Schrier, Ropeworks, 1 Arboretum Place IG11 7FL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Minutes from Barking station, compact city living with balcony and long lease.
Seventh-floor, bright open-plan kitchen/living with balcony
This compact seventh-floor flat offers a bright open-plan living space with balcony and long lease, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city base. The property is chain-free and sits within a modern development just minutes from Barking station and local shops, making commutes and errands straightforward.
Practical strengths include triple glazing, a 132-year lease and EWS1 confirmation. The balcony and large windows bring good natural light for the apartment’s 410 sq ft, while the building’s contemporary finish gives straightforward, low-maintenance urban living.
Notable practical points: heating is by individual electric room heaters rather than central heating, and the annual service charge is relatively high at around £2,380, plus a ground rent of £100. The surrounding area is an inner-city, high-crime and deprived neighbourhood, which may influence resale or rental desirability for some buyers.
A sensible next step is a viewing to judge space and aspect in person, and to commission any surveys or service checks you need. Additional leasehold-related costs (legal packs, admin) may apply on completion.
