Summary - 8 GORDON ROAD BARKING IG11 7XQ
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Small garden and strong transport links for first-time buyers.
Two double bedrooms with built-in cupboards
This two-bedroom end-of-terrace home offers practical living across approx. 634 sq ft, with a bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room and a private rear garden. The layout suits first-time buyers or small families seeking close transport links and local amenities. Barking mainline station is within walking distance, with direct City connections in around 15 minutes.
The property presents clear potential but requires refurbishment: the exterior and small front yard are unkempt and the interior shows dated finishes. Built between 1976–1982, the house has double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, and cavity walls with partial insulation. Council tax is described as affordable and flood risk is low.
Location strengths include nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools, green space at Greatfields Park, and a busy local retail and leisure offer (takeaways, shops, bus links). Note the neighbourhood is in a more deprived area with average crime levels and small plot size, which will affect resale and rental appeal.
For buyers comfortable with a renovation project, the layout and bay-front character provide scope to modernise, reconfigure and add value. Buyers seeking a fully finished move-in will face immediate improvement costs; structural concerns are not stated but a survey is recommended to confirm services and condition.
