Craven Gardens, BARKING

Nestled within the desirable Craven Gardens enclave in Barking, this exquisitely re-designed three-bedroom house offers a sublime blend of elegance, space, and refined comfort. From the moment you arrive, the property conveys a sense of elevated living: the façade has recently been entirely reconfigured and finished in a warm sandstone-toned palette, lending the home a calm, dignified presence that stands out among neighbouring terraces.

Approached via a generous driveway capable of accommodating two cars, the frontage presents a sense of arrival. Through the entrance, you are welcomed into an impeccably proportioned ground floor, where no detail has been spared.

On this lower level:

A formal reception room, discreetly separated from the cooking space, features rich wooden flooring and walls painted in a crisp, luminous white. Recessed spotlights discreetly accentuate the room’s architectural proportions, while picture windows invite an abundance of natural light. Tasteful soft furnishings and seating arrangements are in situ—ready to portray the property’s potential of ease and elegance.

Adjacent lies the kitchen / dining room, a truly generous, open-plan space designed to impress. Sleek, high-quality storage units line the walls, with integrated features and a sophisticated electric cooker. The lighting scheme carries through here, with carefully positioned spotlights over both food preparation and dining zones. The dining area flows directly through sliding or glazed doors into the decked garden, forging a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor entertaining.

A convenient cloakroom / WC completes the ground floor layout, strategically placed yet discreetly tucked away.

Underfoot, the entire ground floor is served by underfloor heating, ensuring consistent warmth and preserving the clean lines of the décor without visible radiators.

Venturing upstairs, you find three well-appointed bedrooms, each finished with the same elegant wooden floors and soft neutral walls:

The principal bedroom is furnished with a quality bed, wardrobe, bedside table, and chest of drawers, offering both comfort and an immediate sense of home.

The second bedroom is furnished with a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideal for a guest room or a child’s room.

The third bedroom, slightly smaller, is perfect as a nursery, home office, or for flexible use.

A beautifully executed family bathroom serves the floor: modern in design, with a full bath and an additional shower unit, contemporary fittings, and tasteful tile finishes.

Outside, the private rear garden is an extension of the home. A generous decked area abuts the dining doors, ideal for al fresco lounging or dining, while the remainder of the garden extends further into lawn or planting beds, offering both leisure and potential for landscaping. The design and orientation ensure light and privacy without compromise.

Throughout, the property’s design ethos is one of restrained luxury: the high ceilings, wide windows, and pale neutral palette amplify the natural light and visual space. Every element—from the underfloor heating and spotlit ceilings to the integrated kitchen storage—speaks to thoughtful, high-end specification.
