2 bed Flat For Sale £875,000
This two-bedroom apartment lies in Bow Brook House, a smart Victorian school building in Bethnal Green that was converted into a group of apartments in the 1980s. It occupies a wonderfully quiet spot next to the Regent’s Canal and Victoria Park. This apartment is arranged across the ground and mezzanine levels, making excellent use of the double-height ceilings and huge arch windows that bathe the living spaces in light. The roof of the building has been converted to a communal terrace with vegetable gardens and far-reaching views across London.
The Tour
The façade of the school presents a grand profile, with two-storey sash windows positioned beneath red-brick ornamentations. Access is gained via a private courtyard that leads to an entrance beneath a striking brick portico.
A double-height entrance hall opens into what is arguably the most impressive space in the apartment, a double-height living room where three tall, timber-framed windows cast natural light onto exposed brick walls and timber parquet flooring. A double bedroom lies off the hall and a shower/WC with small floor tiles, ceramic wall tiles and exposed brick in the walk-in shower completes the ground floor plan.
The mezzanine level is open to the double-height living space save for a dark metal balustrade. The tall fenestration of the living space also serves this level, ensuring natural light abounds. There is a modern kitchen/dining area, where exposed steel beams and timber flooring sit alongside an arched, timber-framed window. The kitchen island has integrated shelving and worktops in a light finish, which is mirrored by the main run of worktops opposite. A double bedroom with Crittall-style windows is situated off the main space, and a work snug has been created adjacent.
Outdoor Space
Bow Brook House is one of the few large Victorian buildings in east London to remain after the war and the following redevelopment of Bethnal Green. It is well-equipped with gated grounds and residents’ parking; a large, communal roof terrace sits atop, including a vegetable patch, barbeque area, raised planters and seating with far-reaching views of the city skyline.
The Area
Bethnal Green is now one of the more established east London neighbourhoods. It is home to a thriving range of pubs and cafes, such as E Pellicci, Tayyabs and The Approach Tavern, as well as a new wave of bars and restaurants including Brawn and Sager + Wilde on Paradise Row. Just across the canal from Bow Brook House is Victoria Park and the much-loved Pavilion café and Chisenhale Gallery.
It is a 13-minute walk to Bethnal Green (Central Line) and Mile End (Central, District and Hammersmith & City lines) Underground stations. The Overground also runs from Bethnal Green and Cambridge Heath towards both Liverpool Street and northeast London.
