Bright, compact two-bedroom apartment on the second floor, built 2007–2011 and offered with a long lease of 108 years. The open-plan living/kitchen leads to a small balcony, and the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite — practical features for a first-time buyer or investor seeking straightforward city living close to transport.
The location is very near Barking station and the town centre, making commuting and everyday shopping easy. The building has lift access to all floors and an allocated off-street parking space. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for home-working or streaming.
Buyers should note the apartment is small at about 335 sq ft, so internal space is limited and furniture planning is important. Service charges average £2,800 per year and ground rent is £250; factor these running costs into budgeting. The wider area is classed as very deprived, though crime is reported as very low locally.
Overall this flat suits first-time purchasers seeking a modern, low-maintenance home near transport links, or investors wanting a well-located rental. The long lease and practical amenities add certainty, while the compact footprint and ongoing service charges are the main constraints to consider.
