Imagine waterside living within a short train journey from the City and the West End. Countryside Properties’ Urban Island development in Bromley-by-Bow is set on a curve of the River Lea, accessed only by a bridge. Providing the ultimate combination of stylish city living with a calm island atmosphere.
Urban Island is full of contemporary flair both inside and out, featuring 47 distinctive one and two bedroom apartments in a striking seven storey landmark building, in a conservation area setting adjacent to the Three Mills Island film studios.
The spacious accommodation offered at Urban Island is some of the largest in London with each stylish apartment designed to offer sleek, distinctive, contemporary accommodation with full height glazing allowing maximum light to flood the apartments.
The apartments specification includes hardwood timber strip flooring in a matt oiled finish in the living areas, “Jasmine White” kitchen units with stainless steel handles and Smeg stainless steel appliances and stylish modern white bathroom suites with chrome and glass finish the look. Each apartment has its own balcony providing outdoor space, some apartments have terraces and balconies.
Urban Island is an ideal location for easy access to the City and Canary Wharf as well as the traditional East End haunts. A host of pubs and eateries alongside a wealth of restaurants, pavement cafes, bistros, and some of the best clubs and venues in London are now helping to make the East End the first choice for homebuyers. There are also acres of green public open spaces nearby.
Shopping is surprisingly varied, with an eclectic mix of traditional and modern, high street and specialist shops nearby. Urban Island benefits from a 24hr Tesco on its doorstep.
Travel connections are good, with Bromley by Bow underground station approximately a five minute walk from Urban Island, providing easy access to the District or Hammersmith & City Lines, while several BR Mainline Stations are approximately 10 minutes walk away. Three Mills Island is serviced by a fully developed network of roads linking the area to the national motorway network, the major international airports and the Channel Tunnel.
Located within the regeneration project known as the “Arc of Opportunity”, Newham is a thriving area undergoing a remarkable transformation and rapidly emerging as a centre of commerce and culture. The re-development of the Lower Lea Valley has been given the added impetus by the bid for the London Olympics in 2012, which could see up to five hundred acres being transformed to create a stage for many of the flagship Olympic events. This makes Urban Island a good sound investment for the future.
The apartments remaining are available for immediate occupation. Prices start at £319,995 for a two bedroom apartment and the Penthouse is priced at £449,950. Please contact the marketing suite on 020 8981 9275 or alternatively visit the site specific website www.urbanisland.gb.com
