3 Bed Terraced House, Bow Locks, E3

A newly refurbished three bedroom former lock keepers cottage on the River Lea

This three bedroom house was built in the 1950s as a lock-keeper’s cottage. With the River Lea on one side and the canal on the other, it’s perfect for anyone who wants to live by water. The house has the benefit of feeling away from the hustle and bustle of London life, it's very quiet and there are abundant waterbirds and nature straight outside; nonetheless less still minutes from Bromley-By-Bow tube for central London, Devon’s Road for Canary Wharf and the A12 for easy road access.

The house has three double bedrooms so perfect for a professional couple, sharers or a family. It has just been refurbished to an excellent standard with new high-end appliances and a stylish finish. It’s a spacious and light-filled home in a fascinating area of London.

You’re also in walking/cycling distance to trendy Hackney Wick with Counter Cafe, Crate Brewery and the host of new bars, restaurants and coffee shops.
