Summary - Flat 52, 1 Harbard Close IG11 8SG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact city flat with quick access to Barking Station and local shops.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment, 430 sq ft, newly renovated
A compact, newly renovated one-bedroom apartment ideal for first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in London base. The open-plan living area with a Juliette balcony, double bedroom and walk-in wet room make efficient use of the 430 sq ft layout. Triple glazing and recent refurbishment reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Practical points include a long lease (121 years), chain-free sale and on-site communal amenities such as a communal garden and allotment for residents. Barking Station is within walking distance, giving direct links to the Circle, District, Hammersmith & City lines, London Overground and C2C — useful for city commuters.
Be aware of material drawbacks: the apartment relies on electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can be more expensive to run. The wider area has higher crime and deprivation indicators, so prospective buyers should assess neighbourhood suitability. The property is small, so it suits singles or couples rather than those needing substantial storage or living space.
Nearby facilities include good-rated primary and secondary schools, Vicarage Field shopping, leisure facilities and multiple local shops. For a first-time buyer wanting a low-hassle purchase close to transport and shops, this apartment offers sensible value with clear limitations on space and heating costs.
