Summary - 13 BATEMAN CLOSE BARKING IG11 8QR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable one-bedroom flat — close to Barking Station and local amenities.
One double bedroom and spacious lounge, 517 sq ft total
A compact one-bedroom apartment offering 517 sq ft of living space, positioned a short walk from Barking Station and local amenities. The layout includes a double bedroom and a roomy lounge with plenty of natural light — a practical starter home or rental unit with straightforward occupation potential.
The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Local provision is strong: shops, eateries, leisure facilities and several good primary and secondary schools are all close by. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the flat well suited to modern living or letting.
Leaseholders should note there are 91 years remaining on the lease, an annual service charge of £1,286.72 and a small ground rent of £10. The wider area is classified as constrained and deprived, with a high local crime rate — important factors for long-term value and insurance costs. The interior is tidy but shows contemporary finishes that may need updating to maximise resale or rental returns.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into the market or investors looking for a well-connected, easy-to-let flat. Be realistic about the lease length and local area challenges when assessing future potential and costs.
