The Spectacle Works, Jedburgh Road, E13. Large studio apartment on the first floor of this former factory conversion in the heart of Plaistow. Originally the building was believed to be a tram depot; then a sweet factory after the war and finally a carpet warehouse before its conversion in 1999. The accommodation is spacious at nearly 500 sq ft and bright with two huge south-facing windows. There is a separate internal kitchen and separate bathroom. There is a good choice of local amenities on the nearby Barking Road and Plaistow tube station is within a convenient 10 minute stroll. Neighbouring Stratford will host the Olympic Village in 2012. While prices have already risen dramatically in Stratford, the future for Plaistow looks even more rosy as the ripple effect means buyers are pushed in neighbouring locations to get better value. A secure, undercroft parking space is allocated to this property. Call 020 7480 0170 to view.
