London Road, Plaistow

Part of the eye-catching Dye Factory conversion (2021), this one-bedroom apartment balances industrial character with sleek, contemporary design. Factory-style windows stretch across the walls, filling the 532 sq ft space with light and highlighting its clean lines and generous proportions. Residents also enjoy the bonus of secure cycle storage.

Step outside and you’re right in the heart of it — Barking Road’s mix of shops, takeaways and daily essentials is just moments away, while Plaistow Park sits across the street if you’re craving some greenery. And with Plaistow Station only a short stroll down the road, you’re brilliantly connected to the rest of the city.

Whether you’re buying your first home, hunting down a practical London base, or eyeing up a reliable rental, this place delivers the kind of balance that’s hard to fake – functional, well-located, and with just enough charm to feel like home.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

A gem in the ever-expanding outskirts of London, Plaistow has access to the green areas of the Hackney Marshes and Wanstead Flats to the north, limitless connections via Stratford International station to the west, with easy access into central and south London, and outwards via the North Circular

Behind a secure gated entrance, this first-floor home instantly feels calm and welcoming. The open-plan kitchen/reception room, where white engineered oak flooring, almond-pink feature walls and a pair of west-facing windows keep everything light-filled and inviting well into the afternoon. It’s an easy space to relax, host friends, or simply spread out. The kitchen runs neatly along the rear wall — a mix of midnight blue and white cabinetry topped with quartz worktops, and integrated appliances that keep the look streamlined. There’s flexibility here too: a corner for lazy breakfasts, or perhaps a desk space if you’re working from home.

The bathroom adds a crisp, modern touch. Soft blue walls meet on-trend black fittings, vertical white tiling, with a full bath and overhead shower. Claybrook geometric floor tiles bring personality, while hidden LED lighting adds a subtle glow.

The bedroom is generously sized and genuinely restful, with plush 50oz grey wool carpet underfoot and two large windows filling the room with light.
