3 bed terraced house for sale

Ridgdale Street, London E3

Description

Jukes Estates are delighted to offer for sale this charming three-bedroom house in this sought-after area of Bow in East London.

This is a great opportunity to acquire this beautiful early 1900s buit terraced house in this very desirable part of Bow .

The property does need modernization, but has very large rooms and ample living space, a very private garden, and three good-sized bedrooms upstairs and a family bathroom.

Street parking, which is by way of permit, and you are situated in a very good part of Bow.

Locally, the Roman Road market is a 10-minute walk away if you fancy popping to Kellys for pie and mash, as are the delights of the Westfield shopping centre with its array of shops and restaurants.

There are good local schools, St Agnus and Marmsbury, a local shop a stone's throw away, and a Tesco superstore only a 10-minute walk. Bow Road on the District Line and the DLR Bowchurch are only 5 minutes and two minutes walk away, with regular trains into Central London.

Life in Bow offers a mix of old-and-new, where you can enjoy many of London's perks without being right in the most expensive zones. What follows is a more narrative account of what makes Bow appealing - and what to watch out for.

Bow is perhaps one of those areas where you feel rooted in London's history but still very much part of its dynamic present. The architecture and street layout still show traces of its past: Older terraces, modest yet solid Victorian houses, street markets that have served locals for generations. But at the same time there are modern apartments, developments, cafés, galleries, and green regenerations, so you're not stuck in a time capsule.

Transport is one of the strongest draws. Bow is very well connected: Multiple Underground lines (District, Hammersmith & City), the DLR, buses - these make getting into central parts of London fairly easy. For those working in Canary Wharf or the City, or needing good links elsewhere in East London, Bow offers a good compromise between affordability and convenience.

There's also no shortage of green and open space. Victoria Park edges Bow; nearby is Mile End Park; parks, walking routes, canals, river-banks - these provide places to get away from urban density, to breathe, to exercise, to relax. Having those kinds of spaces close by adds a quality of life that many inner-city parts can lack.

Because of its mix of older housing and newer builds, there is more variety than in some more "flat-plan" developments. Some streets have beautiful period features; in others you'll find modern flats, often with better amenities. This variety tends to mean people with different needs and budgets can often find something in Bow: Young professionals, families, creatives, students.

Another appeal is the community and culture. Bow doesn't feel as anonymous or purely commercial as some newly built London suburbs. There are local markets (Roman Road is often mentioned), local shops, cafés, pubs, arts spaces. There is a sense of neighbourliness: People run into one another, there are community events, many small‐scale cultural or artistic ferment. For someone who likes to feel rooted, that can be quite important.

Finally, compared to many parts of inner London, Bow is still relatively more affordable. Yes, prices have been rising, and certain parts are very desirable (and pricey). But all else equal, you often get more "bang for your buck" - more space, good access, amenities - than you'd pay for in zones 1-2 or more central London locales.

Of course, those benefits come with trade-offs (no place is perfect). But in broad strokes, Bow offers a kind of "best of many worlds" feel: Proximity + connectivity + character + community + more affordable than the very centre.
