This Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Newark Street delivers over 1,300 sqft of flexible living set across four floors. High ceilings, original sash windows, period brick façade and several retained interior details give the house strong character and an immediate sense of place. The lower-ground kitchen and rear reception create versatile living options, and there is direct access to a private patio garden for outdoor dining and play.
The layout works well for a family: a generous double bedroom on the first floor, two attic-style bedrooms on the top floor with full head height, and an additional reception/study that could convert to a fourth bedroom. Local schooling includes several well-rated primary and secondary options within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, supporting home working and family connectivity.
Buyers should note this is a listed property, so alterations will require listed-building consent and may complicate refurbishment plans. The building is of solid brick construction with no assumed cavity insulation, so energy upgrades will need careful planning and listed consent. There is a single bathroom and council tax is described as expensive. The area has high crime statistics and shows signs of local deprivation, which may influence suitability for some buyers.
For those who appreciate period character and are prepared to work within listing constraints, this house offers substantial space, a private garden and strong potential to create a comfortable family home or a long-term investment in East London.
