Modern second-floor flat with two balconies, close to Barking Riverside Station..
Two-bedroom second-floor flat with open-plan reception and fitted kitchen
Bright, modern and well-presented, this two-bedroom second-floor flat in Rhodes Mansions suits first-time buyers seeking a turnkey riverside home. The open-plan reception and fitted kitchen give a sociable living space, while two balconies overlook communal grounds and extend living outdoors. The property benefits from ample storage, an indoor bike rack room, communal garden access and an NHBC warranty for buyer reassurance.
Practical running costs and tenure details are clear: an annual service charge of about £2,471 and ground rent around £100, with approximately 117 years remaining on the lease. The flat is close to Barking Riverside Station and local bus routes, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for commuting or working from home. EPC rating B and council tax band C are additional positives.
Buyers should note material local considerations: the wider area records very high crime levels and is classed as deprived. This may influence lifestyle and insurance costs. The development, however, offers new amenities, good nearby schools and river transport options, which support future demand.
Overall, this is a practical, low-maintenance apartment offering modern fittings and transport links. It will appeal to buyers prioritising location, convenience and move-in readiness, while those requiring quieter, lower-crime neighbourhoods should view with caution.
