A well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor flat with allocated off-street parking and a newly fitted bathroom. The property sits in a brick residential block in Waterside Close, Barking, and benefits from excellent transport links and nearby schools, making it practical for first-time buyers or those downsizing.
The flat comes with an exceptionally long lease (reported as over 999 years, to be updated to 1090 years at Land Registry) which removes common leasehold concerns. The layout is traditional and compact at about 388 sq ft, offering a comfortable lounge, two bedrooms (one double, one single) and a recently renovated bathroom — ready to move into with minimal immediate works.
Important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters, and broadband speeds are average. The property is in an area with high deprivation indices despite low local crime; purchasers should consider longer-term neighbourhood investment and amenity plans. Additional fees for leasehold documents or packs may apply, and buyers are advised to commission their own service checks and surveys.
Overall this property is a pragmatic choice for buyers seeking a low-maintenance, long-lease flat with parking and transport convenience. Its compact size and electric heating suit buyers prioritising location and buy-to-let or starter-home affordability rather than large living spaces or low running costs.
