Summary - BOWER HOUSE FLAT 18 WHITING AVENUE BARKING IG11 8JS
3 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Large 3-bed maisonette near Barking Station — chain free, ready to update.
Chain-free 3-bedroom maisonette arranged over two floors
This chain-free, two-floor 3-bedroom maisonette offers generous living space (approximately 938 sq ft) in central Barking, moments from Barking Station and the town centre. The layout includes a large reception room, a separate fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom with separate W/C — a practical arrangement for families or first-time buyers seeking space without immediate move-in works.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, an EPC rating of C and 99 years remaining on the lease. The property is offered with a modest annual ground rent and an annual service charge (approx. £1,678.92) that funds communal upkeep and a reserve.
Buyers should note this is a mid-20th-century, solid-brick building likely lacking wall insulation, in an area with higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators. While the kitchen appears contemporary, the overall flat may benefit from cosmetic updating or targeted refurbishment to modernise finishes and improve thermal performance.
This maisonette suits buyers wanting good transport links and nearby schools, or investors targeting rental demand in a busy town location. Viewings will be most useful for those prepared to balance strong location and size against the need for some updating and the realities of the local area.
