Summary - HEWETTS QUAY 26-32 FLAT 117 ABBEY ROAD BARKING IG11 7BD
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Compact, commuter-friendly home with secure parking and practical layout.
Chain free two-bedroom apartment with en-suite and separate WC
This chain-free two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, modern layout ideal for a first-time buyer seeking straightforward city living. At about 592 sq ft, the home has an open-plan kitchen/lounge, a main bedroom with an en-suite, a second bedroom and a separate WC — practical accommodation for a small household or sharers.
The building includes a garage and secure communal areas, and the flat benefits from large windows and a small balcony that bring light into the main living space. Transport links are strong: approximately 0.7 miles to Barking station and quick access to the A13, making commutes into central London or local employment nodes simple.
Important practical points are clear: the lease is long (around 102 years remaining) but the service charge and ground rent are relatively high at about £2,000 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, which can increase running costs. Broadband speeds are average and the local area faces high crime levels and significant deprivation, which buyers should factor into their decision.
Nearby schools include several rated Good, and the apartment’s size and layout make it a manageable, low-maintenance home with some rental or future resale potential given transport links. Overall this is a sensible, practical option for someone prioritising location and low entry friction over large internal space.
