Located on the ground floor of a three storey modern block, this purpose-built two bedroom apartment is a stone’s throw from the shops, services, and station in the town centre of Barking. Set in communal gardens, it forms part of a friendly community in a quiet cul de sac.
IF YOU LIVED HERE...
You’d have plenty of living and storage space in this apartment which has a well- planned layout, contemporary fixtures and fittings, and crisp modern décor. The entrance hallway has a built-in storage cupboard, both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and there’s a generous amount of storage space in the kitchen. There’s a great sense of space and light throughout, but particularly in the dual aspect open plan living room and kitchen. Extending to a generous 17’7”, this area comprises a spacious living room with two windows including a southwest-facing bay, and a kitchen tucked neatly in a large nook that has a window above the sink. The living room layout lends itself perfectly to accommodate dining and lounge areas, with plenty of space for both. An arched doorway leads to the well-equipped kitchen, which has a U-shape of fitted wall and floor cabinets that provide ample worktop space and a smart green metro-tiled splashback. The main double bedroom has a large window and ample space for a kingsize bed, whilst the second bedroom comfortably fits a single bed and is also ideal as a workspace. The bathroom is fully tiled, hotel-style, and has a fitted shower bath, washbasin console and WC. The apartment is double glazed and has smart mainly all-white décor complemented by a grey carpet. It’s on the ground floor of a well-maintained block set in landscaped communal gardens.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...
\"There's so many things I love about living here but I'll just pick my top 3:
1) Everything I need is within a walking distance. I can walk to the nearby Asda or Tesco to get my groceries. The nearby Abbey leisure centre with two gyms and a spa is perfect for a workout (and a massage!). Barking Park is really lovely for an afternoon walk, with a cafe and boating lake. You are also very close to the riverside walk, with the Boathouse Bar and Cafe being one of my favourite places for a cocktail whilst overlooking the river.
2) Travelling into and out of London is so easy. Barking station is a 6 minute walk and has regular tubes and rail into London and Essex. The A406 and A13 are also a short drive from the flat.
3) It feels really homely. Since I've moved in, I've had a new kitchen and new bathroom installed. I also had inbuilt wardrobes fitted which save so much space - everyone tells me they love how spacious the flat is. The neighbours are a great mix of people, they're generally quiet but will always stop to say hi, and they'll look after your parcels!\"
