A handsome four bedroom Victorian freehold house, full of character and unfolding over 1,438 square feet. Set in Manor Park’s Conservation Area, this is a home with real presence, from the arched doorway and chequerboard path outside to the generous proportions, period features and beautifully extended kitchen-diner within. You also have a first floor family bathroom, a ground floor WC, private rear garden and Manor Park Station within easy reach, with the open greenery of Wanstead Flats also close by.
IF YOU LIVED HERE...
You’d step through that lovely frontage and into a long entrance hall, where the sense of space is immediate. At the front, the bay fronted first reception room is beautifully bright, framed with double-glazed wooden sash windows, and completed with an original fireplace and stripped timber floorboards underfoot. Beyond that, a second reception gives you another warm and inviting living space, with more original floorboards and an exposed brick chimney breast bringing texture and character. Together, the two rooms have a natural flow, making the ground floor feel both sociable and calm.
To the rear, the house opens out into a generous extended kitchen-diner, designed with everyday living in mind. Skylights and garden-facing glazing pull in the light, while the large central island anchors the room and leaves plenty of space for cooking, gathering and long lunches that turn into supper. The garden sits just beyond, framed by mature greenery and offering a quietly tucked-away place to eat outside or simply exhale. Back inside, the ground floor WC is neatly placed, while the cellar stretches almost the full depth of the house and gives you excellent storage.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged off the landing, with three well-proportioned doubles and a fourth room that would work beautifully as a nursery, study or child’s bedroom. The principal rooms continue the home’s spacious, airy feel, and the bathroom is especially well considered with both a freestanding tub and separate shower. Throughout, the house strikes that lovely balance between preserved Victorian character and comfortable family life, with enough flexibility to grow into over time.
WHAT ELSE?

a word from the owner...
"This has been our family home for 24 years, and it has always been a warm, relaxed, and comfortable place to live. Whenever friends and family visit, they comment on how inviting the house feels. This is especially true of the kitchen, where the table comfortably seats 12 for those big, memorable gatherings. Manor Park Village is beautiful, particularly in the spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The locals take great pride in maintaining the community garden close to the station and the flowerbeds. You can either volunteer to help or simply sit back and enjoy the picturesque surroundings. For outdoor lovers, Wanstead Flats is right on your doorstep for a stroll. If you fancy a longer walk, or a very short drive, you can head into Wanstead Park Woods; both allow you to really connect with nature and support your wellbeing. On the way back, we love stopping at The Golden Fleece, our friendly local pub, for a drink or a bite to eat. We’re fortunate to have fantastic local amenities. One of my favourites is the International Food Centre; their olives, fresh bread, and local produce are a huge hit whenever we have guests. Having Parker Dairies deliver fresh milk once a week is another lovely local bonus. I truly hope that when you visit, you will not just see a house, but a home where you can build your own fond memories too."

Our Local Guide:
Manor Park
Although it might sound like a Downton Abbey spin-off, in reality Manor Park is a dynamic hotspot for East London creatives, attracted by its independent scene, affordable prices and abundance of green space.
At its heart is the striking Grade II-listed Old Manor Park Library, which was built by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in 1904 and recently transformed into studio spaces for artists and the local community. This thoughtful old-meets-news fusion is reflective of the area as a whole, with the lively centre giving way to charming property, historic buildings and laid-back parks.
The biggest development of recent years has been the Crossrail, with the Elizabeth line making a stop at Manor Park. But even before that juggernaut arrived in town, transport links have been excellent – Manor Park is only a short walk to three London Underground lines, meaning locals and visitors can nip into Central London in just 30 mins.

Transport links
It’s already only 13 minutes from Manor Park to Liverpool Street on the Overground, but when Crossrail launches it will be possible to travel to the West End in just 20 mins. East Ham on the District line and Hammersmith & City line is the nearest London Underground station.
Open green spaces
Manor Park isn’t just a name, it’s also an actual green space situated within Wanstead Flats at the southernmost tip of Epping Forest. Interesting fact; it’s rumoured to be the inspiration behind the Small Faces’ hit Itchycoo Park - the band’s frontman and guitarist Steve Marriot grew up locally.
Plenty of period property
Manor Park is proud of its streets of Victorian and Edwardian property, some of which overlook the Wanstead Flats. You should find a mix of refurbished and doer-uppers, as well as double bayed and compact terraces, making the area suitable for a range of budgets.
