This freehold two-bedroom terraced home (built 1998) is offered chain free and presented in good order. Double glazing and gas central heating provide efficient, comfortable living while an off-street driveway gives convenient parking — a rare asset in this area. The property sits approximately 0.6 miles from Barking Riverside Station, making commutes to central London straightforward for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors.
Internally the layout is compact: ground-floor lounge/dining room, kitchen and two first-floor bedrooms with a family bathroom. The small rear garden and modest room proportions suit a small family or couple; there's clear potential to add value through kitchen or bathroom modernisation and internal reconfiguration if desired. Total internal area is about 618 sq ft.
Notable negatives are candidly stated: the immediate neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the wider area shows signs of deprivation, which will influence long-term values and insurance or mortgage considerations. The plot is small and the house is modest in size, so buyers seeking larger family accommodation should look elsewhere. Early viewing is recommended for those prioritising transport links, convenience and scope for inexpensive upgrades.
