IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Step inside and you'll find a welcoming hallway leading through to a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room. Wood-effect flooring and crisp white walls create a fresh, understated feel, while large glass doors draw in plenty of daylight and open directly onto the south-facing balcony. There's ample room for a comfortable seating area and dining table, with the balcony providing a lovely spot for a morning coffee or some time outdoors in the sunshine.

The kitchen is neatly arranged along one wall, with sleek white cabinetry, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar that offers additional seating. The double bedroom is well proportioned, with soft neutral décor, fitted mirrored wardrobes and a large window overlooking the surrounding greenery. Across the hallway, the bathroom is finished with neutral tiling, a bathtub with overhead shower and a heated towel rail. The apartment also benefits from dedicated communal bicycle storage.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"What I've most loved about living in Bow is all the green spaces, great for running routes and relaxation. The Cemetery Park is closest and packed with history. Canal side walks along Mile End Park take you to Victoria Park and the Lido at London Fields. Roman Road offers a number of cute cafes for coffee mornings and brunches, and I've been a regular at the weekend Victoria Park Market. I've been spoilt for choice on pubs for Sunday Roasts and Hackney Wick is also close by for nights out. From Bow, you have all the delights of East London right on your doorstep whilst having unrivalled transport links to Central/wider London - making commuting and connecting with friends elsewhere super easy! Having Bow Road station a mere few minutes walk away has also meant I've never had to worry about coming back late. The area feels very safe and the block/area is quiet for a good night's sleep. I'm really going to miss living in my flat! The kitchen is great to cook in and the open plan space makes it easy to host. The flat and balcony have an open view across allotments and trees to Canary Wharf in the distance, which adds to the spacious feel of the flat. I've seen many great sunsets on the Canary Wharf skyline. Having my own balcony to eat on has also been great, though more recently I put my patio chairs away to give the space over to plants. I'm moving a couple of stops away from the area to settle in a family home with my partner but I'll definitely be back at the weekends to tap into all Bow and the surrounding area has to offer."
