Last chance for savvy Barking buyers at City East
Savvy house hunters looking for a new home and a smart investment should check out the latest Bellway Homes development on Barking Riverside. With an attractive return on investment, and the Barking Riverside railway extension now one step closer after securing Government funding , City East has already tempted many buyers, including first-time buyers and investors, and there are now just a few homes remaining on the award-winning development.
As London house prices continue to push many buyers out of the city, the outer zones are offering a more affordable investment haven, with regeneration areas providing exciting new facilities, improved infrastructure, and better value for money. City East is a fantastic example of this, offering stylish, spacious and well-appointed 4-bed mid-terraced homes within easy reach of the city, from under £320,000.
With significant investment, Barking Riverside is expected to see an astounding regeneration over the next 20 years, providing thousands of new homes, green open spaces, additional and improved transport links, including the East London Transit and the Docklands Light Railway, and new primary and secondary schools. The town centre will also undergo development, to provide new bars, cafés, restaurants and shops as well improved cultural and leisure facilities, which will offer employment opportunities and a buzzing social life for local residents and visitors.
Karen Coulson, sales director at Bellway Homes Essex comments: “Buying at City East now not only means benefitting from the extensive regeneration and re-development in and around Barking, but is also a great investment. Trends show that there is typically a strong return-on-investment in regeneration areas, and with the transport improvements planned, Barking will undoubtedly attract more buyers out of Central London over the next few years.
Homes at this vibrant new waterfront community have been designed and built to focus on the best of 21st Century living. As well as enviable eco-credentials, buyers will find high-level contemporary styling and the latest in fixtures and fittings and integrated appliances.
Currently available at City East are a range of four bedroom family homes. All of the properties feature a modern specification, including contemporary kitchens with integrated appliances, such as a fridge/freezer, and oven. The bathrooms are accompanied by white sanitary ware.
Sustainable transport is at the heart of the development with the expansion of the East London Transit; a high quality 24 hours 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.
Nearby leisure amenities include the Abbey Sports Centre in Barking with excellent facilities including a well-equipped fitness studio, squash courts and swimming pool. Barking Park hosts events and activities throughout the year from funfairs to firework displays.
