Bright fifth-floor apartment near Barking station — well placed for commuters.
Fifth-floor two-bed with private balcony and River Roding views
A smart fifth-floor, two-bedroom apartment offering around 605 sq ft of internal space plus a private balcony with views toward the River Roding. The open-plan kitchen/reception opens onto the balcony, creating a bright living area for dining and entertaining. The principal bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room; the second double bedroom is served by a fully tiled family bathroom.
This property sits in a secure gated development with video entry, landscaped communal areas and EWS1 compliance — practical benefits for buyers and landlords. It is a short walk to Barking Underground Station and local amenities, with quick road links via the A13, making it well placed for commuting into central London.
The flat is in fair, serviceable condition but shows dated decor and signs of wear to kitchen units and flooring. Cosmetic refurbishment would modernise the space and could add clear rental or resale value. Note the lease has 108 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,409.97 and a ground rent of £250.
Buyers should also weigh local issues: the immediate area shows high crime rates and significant deprivation statistics. For first-time buyers or investors focused on rental income, the location, transport links and secure riverside setting offer strong practical appeal, while a modest refurbishment budget would unlock the property’s full potential.
