A cool, two-bedroom factory conversion with double height ceilings, exposed brick, factory windows and wood floors, situated within a Grade II Listed building in the enviable Bow Quarter development.

Steeped in history, Bow Quarter was once London’s largest match factory - Bryant and May - at its height employing 3,000 women in the 19th and 20th Century. The Matchgirls’ strike of 1888 started at the factory, led by social pioneer Annie Besant, resulting in better working conditions and pay. The factory officially ceased production in 1979 and is now home to 714 apartments spread across 7 buildings on the 7-acre Grade II Listed site. The various buildings are named after parts of New York – Park Central, Manhattan and Lexington to name just a few. Fully refurbished by the current architect owners, you enter into a hall with grey tiled flooring and space for hanging coats, putting on shoes and helpful storage, which leads on to an impressive double height living space, beautiful exposed brick walls, and dramatic arched factory windows. It is an open plan space with clearly defined zones for relaxing, cooking and dining. Colours and textures blend seamlessly, with bespoke ply cabinetry, hues of green, white and soft pinks, as well as - Foresso ‘timber terrazzo’ work surfaces and Douglas fir plywood floors. The property features Bosch kitchen appliances, a wine cooler, and custom inbuilt furniture made of Birch plywood throughout. A clever alternating tread staircase leads up to two galleried mezzanine bedrooms; the main bedroom has a dressing area and separate nook which makes a great home office space, the second open mezzanine area is currently configured as a nursery. The fully tiled shower room features Duravit/Hans Grohe bathroom sanitaryware, white square tiles with black grout, large walk-in shower, electric underfloor heating and an open ply shelving unit.

Bow Quarter has numerous resident-only facilities including landscaped gardens, a large roof terrace, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, 24-hour concierge, gymnasium, laundry rooms, and a convenience store, all within a picturesque setting. The property is well located for a number of great transport links including Bow Church DLR station (8 minute walk), Bow Road station (11 minute walk) and many bus routes giving easy access to the City, Canary Wharf and Stratford. Bow Quarter is within walking distance of Roman Road and all the local amenities of Bow as well as the surrounding areas of Victoria Park Village and Hackney Wick. Grounded and Root25 are great coffee and brunch spots within a couple of minutes walk of the apartment. Nearby Roman Road offers endless amenities with restaurants and independent shops including Mae and Harvey, Zealand Coffee, Cafe East, SNAP & Gina’s Closet, as well as a number of organic food stores.
