A word from the owner...
"We’ve got so many lovely memories in this flat! It’s been the perfect first home.
A short walk from Barking Abbey, we’ve seen a huge change in the area in the last few years - with a shift towards young professionals and families.
In the time we’ve lived here, we’ve replaced the floors throughout, the kitchen and both bathrooms. We’ve added shelving to the two storage cupboards and garage too.
As one of only two flats in the building, it’s a peaceful little haven in a gated community, with everything you need on our doorstep: Spots for coffee, dinner and drinks; a Saturday morning Park Run, and a variety of supermarkets. Turkish Wood Oven and The Boathouse are our favourites for food and drink!
Having two bathrooms means it’s really easy when people come to stay, and the Uber Boat from Barking Riverside is our go-to if we’re hosting! Barking Station has some great transport links - 15 minutes on the C2C into Fenchurch Street is the ideal commute.
It’s been a great place to call home and we’re sure whoever lives here next will love it as much as we do."
