2 bed flat for sale

Park West Building, Bow E3

A striking west-facing duplex apartment with a private balcony, set on the fifth and top floor of the Park Buildings within the historic Bow Quarter development. Arranged across two levels and offered with no onward chain, the property combines generous proportions with an impressive open-plan layout and a distinctive mezzanine bedroom.

The entrance hall opens into a spacious reception room alongside a good size kitchen. The main level also includes a well-proportioned double bedroom and bathroom, while a staircase rises from the reception space to the substantial mezzanine-style second bedroom, which also provides access to the loft demised to the lease.

Bow Quarter is one of East London’s most distinctive and architecturally significant residential enclaves. Occupying more than seven acres, the development stands on the former Bryant & May match factory site, which dates from 1861 and was once London’s largest factory. It was also the setting of the landmark Match Girls’ Strike of 1888, an event commemorated by an English Heritage blue plaque unveiled at the development in 2022.

Acquired by Kentish Homes in 1988, the former factory buildings, cottages and associated structures were sensitively reimagined by orms Architects as one of East London’s pioneering urban regeneration projects. The Park Buildings formed part of this transformation and continue to offer characterful, generously proportioned accommodation.

Residents benefit from beautifully landscaped communal grounds, a large terrace with seating and Wi-Fi, and a 24-hour concierge providing convenience and security. Leisure facilities include a 15-metre heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and fully equipped gym, with fitness classes including yoga. A convenience store and postal service further enhance the development’s strong sense of community.

Transport connections are excellent. Bow Church DLR station is approximately 0.2 miles away, providing convenient access to Stratford and Canary Wharf, while Bow Road Underground station is approximately 0.3 miles away and serves the District and Hammersmith & City lines. Liverpool Street and the wider City can be reached in around 10–15 minutes. Hackney Wick Overground station is approximately one mile away, offering links towards Hackney, Highbury & Islington, Camden and Kew Gardens.

The neighbourhood also provides easy access to some of East London’s best green spaces. Grove Hall Park is less than a five-minute walk away, with Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Victoria Park both within comfortable walking distance. From Victoria Park, the Regent’s Canal towpath leads towards Broadway Market and Columbia Road Flower Market.

Stratford and Westfield are approximately a 20-minute walk away or a short journey by DLR, placing an extensive selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities within easy reach.

With its west-facing aspect, private balcony, dramatic mezzanine accommodation and exceptional residents’ amenities, this is a compelling home in one of East London’s most established warehouse-style developments.
