Summary - SCHRIER ROPEWORKS, 1 FLAT 717 ARBORETUM PLACE BARKING IG11 7FL
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Two-bed, two-bath modern flat with rental potential and transport links nearby.
Seventh-floor two-bedroom, two-bath flat with dual entrances
A bright seventh-floor two-bedroom apartment in the Ropeworks development, offering a practical dual-entrance layout and two bathrooms. Both bedrooms sit on opposite sides of the plan with dedicated bathrooms — a useful setup for renting to sharers, taking a lodger or providing privacy for family members. The open-plan living/kitchen opens onto a long balcony and benefits from triple glazing and lift access to all floors.
The building is modern (c.2003–2006) and includes a concierge and water costs within the service charge. Transport links are a major strength: Barking station is within easy reach with Underground, Overground and C2C services, and the town centre provides extensive multicultural shopping, dining and leisure options.
Notable negatives are the high-crime and deprived local area classification, and the property uses electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system. It is leasehold with around 130 years remaining, and a ground rent of £250 per year. Service charge applies (water included) and as with many urban flats, there may be noise or security considerations being seventh floor and close to busy town amenities.
This flat will suit an investor or buyer seeking rental flexibility and convenience rather than a quiet suburban retreat. It presents immediate rental potential with minimal internal reconfiguration, but buyers who prioritise lower running costs or very low-crime locations should factor those points into their decision.
