Set on the third floor of a contemporary development in Bow, this one-bedroom apartment offers about 488 sq ft of well-planned living space and a private south-facing balcony. The open-plan kitchen/living room is bright and practical, with integrated appliances and a layout that suits everyday life and entertaining. Indoor bike storage and excellent transport links make it ideal for commuters and cyclists.
The bedroom provides a comfortable double footprint with built-in mirrored wardrobes; the bathroom is a straightforward bath‑shower suite. The building was constructed c.1996–2002 and benefits from double glazing (install date unknown) and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The apartment is chain free with a long lease of 108 years remaining.
Be candid about the practical points: the home is leasehold with a modest ground rent (£250) and sits in an area classified as deprived — local services and demand may reflect that wider context. There’s no private garden and outdoor space is limited to the balcony. Overall size is average for a one‑bed; it suits buyers seeking a low‑maintenance base near green space and strong transport links rather than those needing substantial family living.
This property will appeal most to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a well-located, easy-care London flat with reliable connections (Bow Road, Bow Church DLR, Mile End nearby) and attractive leisure options like Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park and canal-side amenities.
