A bright fourth-floor one-bedroom apartment in Bow River Village offering 579 sq ft of open-plan living and a full-width private balcony overlooking the canal. The flexible layout suits a single professional or couple who want a low-maintenance central base with quick connections to Bromley-by-Bow tube.
Practical positives include chain-free sale, EWS1 compliance, secure entry and well-maintained communal areas. The flat has a long lease (about 117 years), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working and everyday convenience.
Buyers should note the property is on a community heating scheme, so heating is managed centrally rather than individually controlled. Annual service charges are around £2,544 and ground rent is £200 per year, which will affect running costs. The location is in a deprived area classification, though it benefits from growing local amenities and nearby transport.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a canal-side apartment with immediate move-in potential and clear long-term lease security. The combination of proximity to transport, outdoor waterside walks and a private balcony gives the property genuine urban appeal.
