1 bed flat for sale

Three Mill Lane E3, Tower Hamlets, London

Exceptionally spacious 730 sq ft one-bedroom flat with a south-facing balcony, double-gated allocated underground parking and a 102-year lease, offered chain-free. Island House is a boutique gated development of only 47 homes built on a private island beside the listed Three Mills, five minutes' walk from Bromley-by-Bow.

Open-plan living and dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows onto the water and a large private balcony facing south-west: The rooms are bright all day with direct sunlight from early afternoon onwards. Fully-fitted kitchen with dishwasher, fridge and separate freezer. Large utility room with the washing machine and proper storage space. Large double bedroom and bathroom with an extra-wide bathtub. Oak engineered flooring throughout, timber double-glazed windows and thermal and acoustic insulation well above what new builds typically offer.

The island sits on the water away from any road, so the outlook is birdlife and boats rather than traffic, yet the A12 is a minute away by car and Bromley-by-Bow (District and Hammersmith & City) is a five-minute walk. Stratford, Westfield and the Olympic Park are ten minutes by bike along the towpath.

Island House is run by its residents through a Right to Manage company, with an on-site caretaker, secure double-gated entry, and an established reserve fund. External cladding works and composite balcony decking were completed in 2023, with an EWS1 A1 certificate and no remedial works outstanding, so lenders are not an issue. The flat qualifies for leaseholder protections under the Building Safety Act.

Flats in Island House come to market rarely. This one is chain-free and ready to move on quickly.
