Moreland Cottages, Bow Quarter, London, E3

Boutique Victorian Apartment in the Prestigious Bow Quarter

Nestled within the distinguished and securely gated Bow Quarter development lies this beautifully restored two-bedroom ground floor apartment — a rare offering within one of East London’s most iconic heritage sites.

Located in Moreland Cottages, a row of original Victorian villas once reserved for the directors of the renowned Bryant & May match factory, this exquisite home is a harmonious blend of historic charm and refined contemporary design. With striking Gothic and Victorian architectural details, the building’s grandeur is immediately apparent. The apartment enjoys the privilege of its own private entrance, setting the tone for a unique and elevated living experience.

Internally, the property has been thoughtfully renovated to a high standard, offering a seamless layout that includes an elegant entrance hallway leading into a light-filled open-plan reception and dining area, framed by a bay window. The modern fitted kitchen complements the characterful space beautifully. Two generous double bedrooms are tucked away, including a sophisticated principal suite with its own dressing area and en-suite, in addition to a second sleek shower room.

Residents of Bow Quarter enjoy an exceptional lifestyle with access to meticulously maintained landscaped gardens, a 24-hour concierge service, a stunning 15-metre heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and fully equipped gym offering fitness classes including yoga. There’s also a communal roof terrace, residents’ Wi-Fi, an on-site convenience store, and postal service — all contributing to a rare village-like atmosphere in the heart of East London.

Positioned just 0.2 miles from Bow Church DLR and 0.3 miles from Bow Road Underground (District and Hammersmith & City lines), the apartment offers effortless access to Stratford, Canary Wharf, and Central London. Hackney Wick Overground is just a mile away, connecting you to vibrant areas such as Highbury, Camden, and Kew Gardens.

Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Grove Hall Park, Victoria Park, and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, all within walking distance. The nearby Regent’s Canal towpath provides scenic routes to Broadway Market and Columbia Road Flower Market — perfect for weekend exploration.

With its origins as London’s largest factory, the Bryant & May complex played a pivotal role in local history — including the landmark Match Girls’ Strike of the 1880s. In recognition of its significance, English Heritage awarded the site a Blue Plaque in 2022, proudly displayed on the main building.

A cornerstone of East London's architectural and social history, Bow Quarter is not just a residence — it’s a lifestyle. We highly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate the calibre and character of this exceptional home.
