A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offering 510 sq ft of compact, practical living in Barking. The flat sits in a mid-20th-century terrace block fronting a communal lawn and benefits from a bay-windowed living room that brings natural light. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the flat well suited to remote working or streaming.
This is a leasehold unit with 91 years remaining and an annual service charge and ground rent of £1,620. The building and flat would benefit from cosmetic updating and minor repairs; buyers should plan for refresh works rather than a full structural overhaul. Heating is provided by a mains-gas boiler and radiators and the windows are double glazed (installation date unknown).
The property suits a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located home with rental potential after improvement. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and nearby amenities and public transport links serve a busy urban neighbourhood. Note the wider area has higher deprivation indicators and average crime levels, which should be weighed alongside the property's price and improvement potential.
