Set on the third floor of a modern purpose-built block, this one-bedroom apartment offers a practical, well-laid-out home in Bow, E3. The flat includes a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a separate kitchen, a generous lounge with a Juliet balcony and access to a large communal roof terrace — useful extra outdoor space in a central location. An allocated secure parking space is included, a rare find so close to transport links.
The flat is chain free and comes with a long lease (101 years), making it straightforward to buy. The location is a strong asset: Bow Road Underground and Bow Church DLR are within easy reach, with fast journeys into the City and Canary Wharf. Nearby green space includes Queen Elizabeth and Victoria Parks, and local schools nearby have good to outstanding Ofsted ratings.
There are some practical downsides to note. The property uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs. The annual service charge is relatively high at £4,080 and ground rent is £300 per year; buyers should factor these into affordability calculations. The flat is average in size (approximately 503 sq ft) and may suit a single professional or couple rather than a family.
Overall, this apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-move-into, well-located one-bed with private parking and usable outdoor space. It offers good transport links and long lease security but comes with above-average service charges and electric heating costs to consider.
