1 Ketch Street, Barking, IG11

The Property
A beautifully presented and exceptionally spacious two-bedroom apartment with a private balcony, extending to approximately 888 sq. ft. (82.5 sq. m.) and offering significantly more internal space than many comparable two-bedroom apartments in the area.
The apartment has been designed to maximise natural light, with a three-aspect window layout creating a bright and airy feel throughout. At the heart of the property is a particularly generous open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, ideal for entertaining or relaxing, with large windows and direct access onto the private balcony.
The modern fitted kitchen includes sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and ample worktop space, while the living area is large enough to accommodate both a substantial seating area and a full-size dining or games table, demonstrating the scale and flexibility of the accommodation.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a spacious main bedroom, both offering good natural light and room for wardrobes and additional furniture. A contemporary bathroom with modern fittings and a full-size bath completes the principal accommodation.
A further standout feature is the unusually large entrance hall, which provides valuable additional usable space beyond simple circulation. Depending on the buyer’s needs, this area could comfortably be arranged as a home office, compact gym, reading area or additional sitting space, making the layout particularly flexible for modern living.
The property also offers exceptional storage for a modern apartment, including a large walk-in cupboard measuring approximately 1.2 m × 2.0 m, providing around 2.4 sq. m. of dedicated storage space. The cupboard is already fitted with integrated shelving and coat-hanging facilities, making it ideal for coats, luggage, household equipment, sports gear, boxes or other bulky items.
The apartment benefits from double glazing, efficient heating, lift access and landscaped communal areas within a well-maintained and secure contemporary development.
The property is conveniently located for Barking Station, approximately a 10-minute walk away, providing District and Hammersmith & City line services together with London Overground and National Rail connections. Typical journey times are approximately 20–25 minutes to Stratford, 25–30 minutes to Liverpool Street and around 20–25 minutes to Canary Wharf, making the property particularly well suited to commuters.
Barking is also benefiting from significant long-term regeneration, with continued investment in new homes, public spaces, infrastructure and employment opportunities across the town centre and wider borough. This ongoing investment is helping to improve local amenities and connectivity while supporting the area’s continued development.
Local shops, schools, parks and everyday amenities are all within easy reach.
Service charge: approximately £227.10 per month
Ground rent: £175 per annum
With its unusually generous floor area, flexible entrance hall, exceptional storage, private balcony, abundant natural light and strong transport links, the property would make an ideal home for professionals, couples or buyers seeking substantially more space than is typically available in a modern two-bedroom apartment.
