City East

Following successful sales of earlier phases, Bellway Homes is pleased to launch a new collection of two bedroom apartments at City East. Part of the landmark Barking Riverside scheme, award winning City East has been attracting strong buyer interest drawn to its award winning combination of stylish, new homes, value for money and future market potential.

Karen Coulson, sales director at Bellway Homes Essex, said: “The homes at City East are selling fast as there is a pent up demand for quality new homes in this up and coming part of London. The scheme has so far proved particularly popular among first time buyers as it offers such great value, yet Central London is just half an hour away by tube. We anticipate a great deal of interest in this new phase and so anyone who is interested should not delay.”

Barking Riverside is a vibrant new community designed and built to offer the best in contemporary London living. Good transport links, first-rate community facilities and fantastic new homes in a variety of well-designed layouts make it an ideal neighbourhood in which to get on the property ladder.
Set across two striking modern buildings, and the names taking inspiration from flowers, the newly released selection of two bedroom apartments at City East all feature flexible open plan living areas and private outdoor space in the form of balcony or terrace. Large windows and fully glazed French doors ensure the interiors are flooded with natural light. Spacious master bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and en suite bathrooms, while second bedrooms are also of a good size.

All of the properties come complete with a high quality specification including stylish kitchens fitted with an integrated stainless steel oven and hob and a choice of units and worktops. Bathroom features include Roca Laura wall-hung washbasins with contemporary chrome taps and Bristan Artisan showers and all homes are wired for Virgin Media cable.

Built with the principles of sustainability central to every aspect of the design, City East includes a wide variety of energy saving features including high levels of insulation and green roofs planted with species native to the area, which in turn result in lower utility bills for residents.

Sustainability is also about establishing the vitality of a neighbourhood - at Barking Riverside the Rivergate Centre provides a hub for community facilities with a nursery, a primary school, healthcare services and a community café. Residents can also choose to get involved and have their say on the future of the area through the Barking Riverside Community Interest Company.

Neighbouring Barking town centre has a wide range of high street shop and supermarket as well as a colourful market several days a week. Nearby leisure and sporting amenities include the Abbey Sports Centre, Barking Park and Mayesbrook Park.

Good transport links are also key to the success of the development with the expansion of the East London Transit; a high quality 24 hour bus service that provides a fast and direct link between Ilford, Barking Riverside and Dagenham Dock. Barking Station provides commuters with a choice of routes, with London Underground services on the District and Hammersmith & City line, London Overground towards Gospel Oak and c2c services to Fenchurch Street and Shoeburyness.
