Summary - 300 Ashurst Drive IG6 1HB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free two-bedroom flat with garage and share of freehold, minutes from Barkingside station.
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment with approx. 997-year lease
Set within a gated, mid-century development on Ashurst Drive, this chain-free two-bedroom apartment offers 711 sq ft of practical living space and a rare long lease (approx. 997 years). A generous reception room and two well-proportioned bedrooms suit first-time buyers or a small family wanting immediate move-in with low initial hassle. The property includes a detached garage and parking, and benefits from a share of freehold which helps keep ongoing ownership costs modest.
Practical positives include proximity to Barkingside station and local shops, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters and those working from home. The communal grounds are tidy and the building offers secure gated access. Service charge is around £1,000 per year and there is no ground rent, which supports predictable running costs.
Buyers should note the apartment uses electric room heaters and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation; heating could be relatively costly without improvement. Crime levels in the area are recorded as above average, and the property dates from the 1950s–60s, so some modernisation (kitchen, bathroom or insulation) may be needed to increase energy efficiency and long-term value.
Overall, this apartment is a practical, low-entry-cost option for someone seeking a secure, well-located home near Barkingside station with clear potential to add value through targeted improvements.
