Located on the 6th floor of the Oculus House development, this bright two-bedroom apartment is offered as a 65% shared ownership resale with an option to buy 100%. The open-plan living area with an adjacent winter garden delivers generous natural light and contemporary finishes; the master bedroom includes an ensuite with a double-width shower. The property remains under NHBC warranty until 2030.
Practical features include three substantial hallway storage cupboards (one houses plumbing and laundry), a second family bathroom with shower-bath, and modern communal heating. Transport links are a major convenience: Barking station and local Underground, Overground and C2C services are within easy reach, and town-centre amenities are close by.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold shared ownership home with rent payable on the unsold share (£420pcm at 65%) and qualifying criteria for purchasers (household income under £80,000 and first-time buyer/divorcee, unless buying 100% outright). Service charges are relatively high and there is an annual ground rent. The local area has high crime levels and is classed as deprived, which may concern some buyers.
This property will suit buyers seeking an affordable route into a modern, well-specified apartment close to excellent transport links — particularly first-time buyers who meet the shared ownership criteria and want a low-maintenance, contemporary home with long lease security.
