Set within the historic, gated Bow Quarter development, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment combines Victorian character with contemporary finishes. The property occupies part of the original Bryant & May directors’ houses and benefits from a private entrance, bay-windowed reception room and a recently renovated interior. The principal bedroom includes a dressing area and en-suite, while a second double bedroom and separate shower room complete the accommodation.
Residents have access to exceptional on-site amenities: landscaped communal gardens, 24-hour concierge, a heated indoor pool, gymnasium, sauna/steam room and an on-site convenience shop and café. Transport links are excellent — Bow Church DLR is 0.2 miles and Bow Road Underground 0.3 miles — giving direct access to Canary Wharf, Stratford and central London.
Important practical points are straightforward: the apartment is leasehold (88 years remaining) with a small ground rent (£150) and a ‘D’ EPC rating. The building’s Grade II listed status preserves its character but may restrict alterations and could complicate some renovation choices. The property has solid brick walls (likely little cavity insulation) which may affect energy performance and longer-term running costs.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance home in a secure, amenity-rich development — ideal for professionals, small families or investors who value location and lifestyle rather than scope for major structural change. Chain-free sale provides a quicker move for a buyer ready to embrace a listed London home.
