This bright two-bedroom fifth-floor apartment offers a ready-to-live-in layout and a private balcony overlooking the surrounding city. The open-plan kitchen/living room is fitted with integrated appliances and wide floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, creating an inviting home for first-time buyers or commuters.
Practical running costs are a strength: 119 years remain on the lease, service charge is below average at £243.70pcm, ground rent is minimal, and communal heating is provided (private HUI located in a cupboard). The property is energy-efficient and EWS1 A2 certification is available, reducing common purchase hurdles for higher-floor flats.
Transport and local amenities are immediate benefits — Barking station is a short walk with fast connections into central London, and shops, supermarkets, parks and schools are close by. The apartment’s 801 sq ft offers comfortable proportions for two-bedroom city living, with one bathroom and additional hallway storage.
Buyers should note the local area scores highly for connectivity but sits within a very deprived neighbourhood classification and average crime levels; this may affect resale outlook and should be considered. The property is leasehold and will require a mortgage deposit or cash purchase; affordability checks will be required by lenders.
