Summary - ISLAND HOUSE FLAT 44 THREE MILL LANE LONDON E3 3AF
1,090 sqft open-plan living with large private balcony
A spacious two-bedroom canal-side apartment offering 1,090 sq ft of bright, open-plan living and a large private balcony overlooking the Limehouse Cut. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and generous proportions create a light, airy interior suited to couples or young families who value outdoor space and easy access to waterside walks and local leisure amenities.
Practical benefits include gated development security, allocated underground parking with private EV charging tied to the flat’s meter, secure bike storage and a proactive Right to Manage company. The building is relatively modern (built 2003–2006) and benefits from double glazing and a stable service history, making this a low-hassle buy for someone wanting a ready-to-move-in home with long leasehold tenure (c.100 years).
Notable considerations: the property uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may increase running costs; service charge (£5,000pa) and ground rent (£300pa) are above average and should be factored into ownership costs. The area has an above-average crime rate and a medium flooding risk — relevant for insurance and peace-of-mind. While the development report notes stable service charges, buyers should review the latest accounts and reserve fund details.
Well located for DLR, Underground and Stratford connections, the flat suits buyers who want quick links to Canary Wharf and central London plus nearby parks, studios and cultural venues. With a generous layout, secure parking and waterside outlook, this apartment offers rare canal-side living in East London, balanced by transparent running and environmental considerations.
