Oculus House is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment located in Barking, East London. The property is situated on Cambridge Road, within the Abbey locality. Barking benefits from good transport links, with Barking station (c2c) just 0.19km away, providing easy access to central London. Several other rail stations are within a reasonable distance, offering alternative commuting options. The area also has a number of well-regarded schools nearby, including several rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, making it potentially attractive to families.

Based on the images provided, the apartment appears to be in excellent condition, with a modern, well-maintained interior. The kitchen and bathrooms are contemporary and stylish. The property benefits from a balcony offering views of the surrounding area. The external communal areas also appear well-maintained.

While the plot size is relatively small for an apartment, the property includes access to communal outdoor space, which partially compensates for this.

Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £380, and the apartment is listed at £345,000 with a size of 693.39 sqft, the price per sqft is approximately £497. While this is higher than the average, the modern condition of the apartment, its location, and access to transport and schools may justify the premium. Nearby comparable properties on Cambridge Road range from £280,000 to £400,000, suggesting the listed price is within the reasonable range for the area.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
