Summary - Flat 2105, Oculus House, 16-48 Cambridge Road IG11 8SX
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Spacious 977 sqft flat with balcony and excellent transport links for commuters.
24th-floor apartment with broad London outlook
This 24th-floor two-bedroom apartment in Oculus House offers expansive, largely uninterrupted views across London and a generous 977 sq ft layout. Built in 2019 and covered by NHBC warranty until 2030, the home has a bright open-plan kitchen/living area with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a wrap-around balcony that maximises the outlook.
The apartment includes two double bedrooms, an en-suite to the principal bedroom, a family bathroom, and useful built-in storage and laundry space. Practical ownership details are favourable: a long lease (241 years) and an EWS1 certificate are in place. Multiple rail and Underground connections at Barking station make commute times to central London straightforward for professionals.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context. The development uses a community heating scheme and the current service charge is around £3,090pa with a ground rent of £300pa. The immediate area is classified as deprived with very high local crime levels — factors to consider for families and investors.
Overall, the apartment will suit first-time buyers or professionals seeking roomy, modern living with excellent transport links and long-term security from the remaining NHBC cover. It also presents potential as a commuter rental, but buyers wanting lower running costs or quieter surroundings should factor in the service charge, heating arrangement and local safety statistics.
