Lofty Eastside living at unlofty prices

House hunters seeking the luxurious high life of penthouse living but without the eye watering prices should look no further than the Eastside development in Bow, E3.

Two fourth floor penthouses have just been released at Lower Eastside, the latest phase at Inspace Homes (formerly Widacre Homes) and joint venture partner Your Lifespace and offer stunning views, luxurious fittings and generous outside space for alfresco living. Prices for the two-bedroom penthouses start from just £364,950.

Apartments at Lower Eastside are accommodated in a five-storey contemporary building set around a gated courtyard, with parking and landscaped grounds. The building’s façade is a clever fusion of pale and burnt orange render balanced with glazing, iron balustrades, topped with a wood panelled uppermost level; the overall effect is a dynamic, unashamed, modern landmark in the local area.

The penthouses available at Lower Eastside boast two generous sized bedrooms, one with ensuite facilities, a large open plan living room and kitchen and separate bathroom. One penthouse has both a balcony and a large terrace of approximately 26 square metres that overlook the newly landscaped park. The other has a generous balcony with an open easterly aspect towards Bow Quarter and the Olympic site.

Eastside is on the doorstep of the 2012 Olympics site so has excellent investment potential. With good transport links into the City and West End and an up-and-coming social scene, the zone two development is a good choice for the shrewd homebuyer.

Ashley McDowell bought a two-bedroom penthouse at the Eastside development last summer. He was impressed with the affordability of the penthouses compared with other developments and with the outside space. He comments: “The roof terrace was definitely the selling point at my apartment. The views towards Canary Wharf are fantastic and the fact that I could get outside space for a reasonable price is something that is quite hard to find in London. “

The penthouses are fitted to an extremely high level. Apartments feature a high spec kitchen incorporating integrated appliances, such as fridge/freezer and washer/dryer from Bosch. Bathrooms offer white sanitaryware with chrome mixer taps, and ceramic wall and floor tiles from Porcelanosa.

Sue Dance, Sales and Marketing Manager of Inspace Homes, comments: “Bow is London’s best kept secret – where else can you buy a fabulous penthouse for under £400,000? The penthouses on offer at Lower Eastside are truly stunning, with outside space that will be perfect for alfresco dinners and drinks in the spring and summer months.”

Prices for a penthouse at the latest phase, Lower Eastside, start from £364,950 for a two-bedroom, fourth floor penthouse.
