Schoolbell Mews, Arbery Road, E3

OPEN DAY Saturday 12th August 2023
Schoolbell Mews is a handsome Victorian former school building in the heart of Bow, which has been cleverly converted into residential living spaces. The building retains all the hallmarks of warehouse-style living, from the exposed brick walls to the soaring double-height ceilings and sash windows, which allow swathes of natural light to pour deep into the living space. This duplex one bedroom apartment is only one of the very few that boasts a private outdoor space.

Sitting at the end of the leafy and quiet Arbery Road which is in the Medway Conservation area, the building feels secluded and nestled away from the main hub that is Roman Road. Converted in the 1980s, the Building is characterised by generous-sized accommodation and modern design concepts.

The living room is positioned on the fourth floor, with enough space for a large dining table/entertaining space, and the kitchen is open plan. This arrangement allows for a great social flow. The wonderfully worn stripped floor boards, allude to the building's past and provide a wonderful sense of warmth to the contrasting cotton white walls. The kitchen is simply fitted with stainless steel countertops, freestanding dish washer, fridge freezer, and moveable butchers block table that is well set up for entertaining.
Adjacent to the living space is a large bedroom with similar elegant windows and high ceilings.

Arbery Road borders the award-winning Victoria Park one of east London's most spacious alfresco-eating spots, with two lakes, a boating pond, the much loved Pavilion (waterside) café, playgrounds, and a scattering of other Instagram-worthy delights. In close proximity is the renowned Chisenhale Gallery, famous for presenting some of the world's most celebrated artists and not forgetting the Historic Roman Road home to neighbourhood favourites Zealand Cafe, Brixton Pizza, Mae + Harvey and Whole Fresh, which sit alongside the traditional street market, which runs thrice weekly.

Excellent transport links are nearby, including several bus routes into the City, whilst Bethnal Green underground and Mile End (Central, District and Hammersmith & City) are just about equidistant from the property.

Property Description - Accessed via communal grounds and secure entrance, accommodation comprises fantastic living room with double-height ceilings and stripped wooden floors, impressive original sash windows which run the length of the living space and generate an abundance of natural light. The living area is open plan to the kitchen which, makes the whole space excellent for entertaining or relaxing. There is a good size double bedroom and a smart bathroom, with bath and wall mounted shower. There is the added benefit of a large entrance hall and under-stairs area which the owners have cleverly made into a study space (see image). There is a balcony accessed off the main living space and off street parking available within the development.
