2 bed flat for sale

Manhattan Building, Bow E3

Nestled within the historic Bow Quarter, East London’s flagship residential renewal project, this remarkable two-bedroom apartment boasts a private terrace, soaring ceilings, and architectural character rarely found in modern homes.

Set in the Manhattan Building, a striking former factory dating back to 1909-10, the apartment sits on the top floor, overlooking beautifully landscaped communal gardens, the residents' terrace, and the on-site leisure facilities including a gym and swimming pool. Originally home to the renowned Bryant & May match factory, Bow Quarter has been thoughtfully reimagined by orms Architects into a vibrant residential community.

The apartment features an open-plan reception room with impressive double-height ceilings reaching up to 3.95 metres. Expansive windows and French doors open onto a private terrace offering far-reaching views across the development and towards the City skyline. A skylight in one of the bedrooms floods the space with natural light, while a refurbished bathroom sits conveniently on the lower level.

Both bedrooms are set on mezzanine levels, cleverly designed to maximise space and offer architectural interest, with the option to enclose them for added privacy. A stylish kitchen and dining area are positioned to the side of the living space, benefiting from excellent natural light and a seamless connection to the terrace. Polished concrete flooring adds a contemporary touch to the main living area, while the bedrooms are finished with warm solid wood flooring.

This apartment comes with a Share of Freehold and 88 year underlease, however the current owners are in the process of extending it by a further 125 years which means that the new owners will benefit from 213 year underlease which is anticipated to complete this summer.

Bow Quarter offers residents a host of on-site amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, a fully equipped gym, a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and beautifully landscaped communal gardens. A café and a well-stocked convenience store enhance the community feel, alongside a parcel collection office for added convenience.

Transport links are exceptional, with Bow Church (DLR) and Bow Road (District and Hammersmith & City lines) just a short walk away. These provide swift access to Canary Wharf, The City, and the West End in under 30 minutes. The development is also very close to excellent Victoria Park, Hackney Wick with its fantastic nightlife and creative quarter and Stratford's Queen Elizabeth Park.
