Compact turn-key apartment with balcony and fast transport links.
Newly renovated one-bedroom, ready to occupy
This sixth-floor one-bedroom apartment in the Ropeworks development offers a compact, move-in ready home in central Barking. The flat has been newly renovated with a fitted kitchen, integrated wardrobe in the double bedroom, triple glazing and a private balcony — good for a first purchase or rental income.
Practical features include lift access, concierge service, and a service charge that covers the property’s water bill. The lease has 113 years remaining and a small annual ground rent of £200. Heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating.
The location provides excellent transport links: Barking station connects to Underground, Overground and C2C services, and many local amenities, shops and eateries are within easy reach. Be aware the immediate area is classified as inner-city and multicultural with higher crime levels and general deprivation, which may affect long-term demand and yields.
Overall, the apartment is a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a modern, well-located flat ready to occupy or let immediately.
