IF YOU LIVED HERE…
Located within a smart contemporary development, this ground floor apartment pairs stylish design with everyday comfort. The setting feels calm and considered, with well-kept greenery and landscaped walkways framing the modern architecture and hinting at the lifestyle within.
Inside, a generous open-plan layout brings together cooking, dining and relaxing in one bright, welcoming space. The kitchen features glossy white cabinetry, integrated appliances and a sleek stone-effect backsplash, complemented by ambient under-cabinet lighting. Pale wood-style flooring adds warmth underfoot, while Crittall-style windows and a glazed door frame the outdoors and invite sunlight to flood in. There’s ample space to define distinct dining and lounge zones, and a built-in cupboard tucked just off the main area provides handy storage.
The bathroom is finished in elegant grey tiling, with a fitted bath and overhead shower, mirrored cabinet, and wood-effect flooring that adds warmth and texture. Meanwhile, the bedroom feels peaceful and spacious, with a large window overlooking your own leafy outdoor retreat. Full-height bespoke fitted wardrobes stretch along one wall, offering generous storage while maintaining a sleek, streamlined look.
The private garden, accessed directly from the living area, stretches the full width of the home and is smartly laid out with paving and mature planting. Fully enclosed, it offers a tranquil slice of outside space that’s low maintenance and ready to enjoy, perfect for alfresco dining, entertaining, or simply switching off.
Beyond your front door, you're perfectly placed to enjoy some of East London’s most vibrant pockets of green space, culture, and community. Victoria Park is just minutes away, ideal for weekend strolls, morning runs, or laid-back afternoons by the lake, while the vast expanse of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park offers even more to explore, from landscaped gardens to riverside walks and world-class sports facilities.

A WORD FROM THE OWNERS...
"We've absolutely loved living here over the past five years with our dog—it's a rare mix of space, style and community. The flat itself is bright, airy and unusually generous in size, with high ceilings and beautiful crittal-style windows that give it a real warehouse-meets-New York feel. It's also incredibly peaceful—once you're inside, you can't hear a thing.
The location couldn’t be better. You're less than five minutes from both the canal and Victoria Park, and surrounded by some of our favourite local spots—Inis, Lucia’s and Darling’s are all a stone’s throw away. It’s a super dog-friendly development with a lovely sense of community, and the front garden is such a gem. We feel very lucky to have it—especially in the evenings with a glass of wine.
And if you're a West Ham season ticket holder (like my husband), the stadium is just down the road too!"
