This substantial Grade II‑listed Georgian townhouse spans five storeys and about 5,655 sq ft, carefully restored by the current owners over 32 years. The house retains impressive period detail — original doors, locks, cornicing, hand‑turned stair and secret staircases — while adding modern efficiencies such as solar‑thermal hot water, exterior wall insulation and underfloor heating. Long reception and kitchen/dining spaces (one over 11m) suit large‑family living and entertaining.
The property includes an independent lower‑level two‑bed flat and a separate housekeeper’s apartment, offering immediate rental or multi‑generational use. Upper floors provide uninterrupted London skyline views and numerous double bedrooms with bathrooms on every floor. Located 0.2 miles from Leytonstone Central Line station, the house sits just behind the High Street for convenient local amenities and schools.
Buyers should note material constraints: Grade II listing significantly restricts alterations and conversion works; any subdivision or commercial change would require listed‑building consent and planning (STPC). The garden/plot is small for the footprint, council tax band is high, and the area records very high crime levels — factors to weigh for family purchasers. EPC D66 and historic solid‑wall construction mean some thermal upgrades are already done, but further conservation‑led maintenance will be required over time.
This house suits a buyer who values rare historic character combined with modern eco‑measures — a large family wanting separate wings, or an investor/owner‑occupier able to manage listed‑building obligations and the local context. The property offers scope for sensitive adaptation, subject to consents, and immediate occupancy with distinct rental potential from the self‑contained flat.
