3 bed detached house for sale

Dock Cottages, The Highway, London E1W

Dock Cottages is a rare opportunity in historic Wapping presented as an exceptional Grade II listed 3 bed detached freehold residence spanning 2,447 sqft (approx) of purely period home across just two levels with twin private gardens.

Originally built in 1823 as a charming terrace of three Georgian terraces that now forms one unique reisdence and being flanked by walled gardens on all four sides, the house enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy and greenery that creates a countryside feeling in the middle of London.

This character-rich property has been thoughtfully converted into a spacious, open-plan home with dramatic double-height interiors made all the more possible by one of the houses being rebuilt many years ago.

Entering from the East, you are welcomed into a cute garden room which opens to a warm and inviting reception area, with a dedicated study to the right. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed country-style kitchen, complemented by a separate dining room, a utility space, and a convenient guest W/C.

To the left, a hallway guides you to a large open-plan room that currently serves as a bright sitting and dining space with some 5.4m high ceilings, but has also functioned as a creative design studio/showroom. A feature spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where you’ll find two generously sized double bedrooms and a smaller third bedroom, two modern bathrooms (each with both bathtub and walk-in shower), ample wardrobe storage, and a private roof terrace.

The property also benefits from a secondary entrance at the rear, leading to a spacious west-facing garden complete with an outbuilding, currently used as a home office/home studio.

Nestled between The Highway and Glamis Road, Dock Cottages offers easy access to both the City and Canary Wharf. A scenic stroll along the Thames Path brings you to Tobacco Docks, St Katharine Docks and Tower Bridge, just a mile away. Nearby Wapping Wall and Wapping High Street offer a selection of riverside pubs, cafés, and restaurants including The Prospect of Whitby, Il Bordello, and Urban Baristas plus the award winning seafood restaurant Smiths and a well regarded Saturday Farmer's Market .

Wapping Lane adds to the village atmosphere with its array of local amenities, including bakeries, a butcher, Sainsbury’s Local, a Post Office, and dry cleaners.

Conveniently served by various bus routes into central London that serve destinations such as St Paul’s, Aldgate, and Liverpool Street, with Overground services at Wapping and the DLR at Limehouse just a short walk away.
