Description
Stylish Duplex Apartment in Historic Bow Quarter | 994 Sq Ft | Industrial Charm Meets Contemporary Living | No Onward Chain
Set within the iconic Bow Quarter, this impressive 994 Sq Ft (92 Sq M) duplex apartment offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of London’s architectural and social history. Once a Victorian match factory, now an exclusive gated community, Bow Quarter combines industrial heritage with modern-day comforts — and this particular apartment is a stunning example.
The home is flooded with natural light thanks to two original, south-facing factory windows, which illuminate the expansive open-plan reception and dining area. A striking exposed brick wall adds character and warmth to the space, while soaring ceilings and mezzanine-level bedrooms create a dramatic and stylish loft-like atmosphere. The principal bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe, and the apartment is offered with no onward chain.
Located on the first floor and accessed via the main communal lifts, the accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hallway, a modern fitted kitchen, a contemporary bathroom, and two double mezzanine bedrooms that overlook the main living space. Every detail has been carefully considered to offer both comfort and aesthetic appeal.
Residents of Bow Quarter benefit from an outstanding range of lifestyle amenities. The grounds are beautifully maintained and include a 24-hour concierge service, providing both convenience and security. A large communal roof terrace offers a peaceful space to relax, while residents also have access to a 15-metre heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. There is a fully equipped gym with regular classes, including yoga, as well as an on-site convenience store and postal service. High-speed Wi-Fi is available in communal areas, enhancing both work-from-home and leisure options.
The location is exceptionally well connected. Bow Church DLR is just 0.2 miles from the property, providing quick links to Stratford and Canary Wharf, while Bow Road Underground Station — only 0.3 miles away — offers fast access to Central London via the District and Hammersmith & City Lines. Hackney Wick Overground is just a mile away, opening up further routes to destinations like Highbury & Islington, Camden, and Kew Gardens.
For those who appreciate green space, Grove Hall Park is just a five-minute walk from the apartment, while Victoria Park and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park are both within 15 minutes’ reach. The nearby Regent’s Canal offers scenic walking or cycling routes to Broadway Market and Columbia Road Flower Market. Local amenities include a shopping parade on both Bow Road and Roman Road. Easy access to Westfield Stratford shopping center, just a short DLR ride or 20-minute walk away.
Bow Quarter’s history is as compelling as its architecture. Built in 1861 as the Bryant and May match factory — once the largest in London — it was also the site of the famous Matchgirls' Strike of 1888, which played a pivotal role in the history of British labour rights. A Blue Plaque by English Heritage, installed in 2022, commemorates this legacy and can be seen at the building’s entrance.
One of East London’s first major urban renewal projects, Bow Quarter is more than just a residential development — it’s a vibrant community housed within an extraordinary piece of London's past. This unique apartment offers not only a distinctive living space but also the opportunity to be part of something truly special.
An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this property and location have to offer.
