Harvey W James is pleased to present this stylishly furnished one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, set on the first floor of Curlew House within the Poplar Riverside development on the banks of the River Lea. Offered furnished, it pairs a genuinely generous open-plan living space with a private balcony and access to an extensive residents' club.
The kitchen and living room run open-plan across almost 24 feet, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glazing that draws in a bright, leafy aspect and opens onto the balcony. Engineered-oak flooring runs throughout the living space, warmed by underfloor heating, and the room is dressed with a curved velvet sofa and a solid-timber dining set.
The kitchen is finished with handleless cabinetry in pale oak and burnt-orange tones, terrazzo worktops and a full-height terrazzo splashback, with integrated Bosch and Beko appliances. The double bedroom is carpeted and fitted with a sliding wardrobe, and the bathroom is fully tiled with a bath and rainfall-style shower, a wall-hung WC and a heated towel rail. A separate utility room houses the washer-dryer and the heat-interface unit.
Set within Poplar Riverside, a St William (Berkeley Group) neighbourhood on the former Leven Road Gasworks, residents have use of The Riverside Club, with a swimming pool, spa, gym and private cinema, a 24-hour concierge, and 2.5 acres of landscaped riverside gardens. The River Lea and the Lea River Park sit on the doorstep, with East India and Langdon Park DLR close by and Canary Wharf around 1.7 miles away.

LEISURE
Poplar Riverside is a riverside neighbourhood created by St William, part of the Berkeley Group, on the former Leven Road Gasworks beside the River Lea. At its heart is The Riverside Club, a residents' club of around 16,000 square feet with a swimming pool and vitality pool, a spa with sauna, steam room and treatment rooms, a fully equipped gym, a private cinema, a games room, a residents' lounge and a co-working lounge, all supported by a 24-hour concierge. Residents also have 2.5 acres of landscaped riverside gardens and a children's play area within the development.
The River Lea and the Lea River Park run alongside, opening onto the Leaway, a continuous walking and cycling route linking Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to the north with the Royal Docks and the Thames to the south, passing Three Mills, Bow Ecology Park and Trinity Buoy Wharf. Bartlett Park, one of Poplar's largest green spaces at over twelve acres, and Langdon Park are both close by.
For shopping and dining, Chrisp Street Market, one of London's oldest covered markets, is undergoing a major regeneration nearby, while Canary Wharf, around 1.7 miles away, offers its full estate of shops, restaurants, bars and green squares. Stratford and Westfield are a short ride to the north.

DEPOSIT INFORMATION
This property is available with Reposit's No Deposit solution, so you won't have to pay a security deposit. Instead, you would pay a small check-in fee of one week's rent - significantly less than a five-week deposit. This fee is non-refundable and is not a deposit so can not be used towards covering the cost of any future damages that might occur.
Holding deposit: Prospective applicants will be required to pay a Holding Deposit equivalent to a maximum of 1 weeks rent. Once the holding deposit has been received, Harvey W James will suspend marketing of the rental property for a period of 15 calendar days subject to referencing commencing promptly. Upon successful references being completed, acceptable and the tenancy being confirmed by Harvey W James, the holding deposit paid will then contribute towards the first months rental payment.
