Situated within the highly regarded Poets Estate, this Victorian terraced house on Kensington Avenue represents a rare opportunity to acquire a period home requiring comprehensive modernisation. The property retains its traditional layout including bay windows and generous proportions, offering a versatile "blank canvas" for those seeking to implement a bespoke renovation to their own specifications. Comparable properties on the street have demonstrated strong resale performance following high-specification refurbishment and extension, underlining the investment potential of this site. Accommodation & Internal Scope The ground floor comprises a spacious through-lounge featuring high ceilings and a deep bay window, providing an excellent foundation for reinstating original period details. To the rear, the property features a large kitchen and dining area with access to the garden, supplemented by a separate utility room and a ground-floor guest bathroom. This configuration offers clear potential for a side-return or rear extension (subject to planning permission) to create a substantial open plan living space. The first floor follows the classic Victorian arrangement, with a large principal bedroom spanning the front of the property, followed by two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Additional benefits include a cellar suitable for storage and a sizeable rear garden, offering further scope for a garden studio or landscaping. Local Infrastructure & Education Kensington Avenue is a quiet residential street within the Poets Estate, perfectly positioned for families and professionals. The property is notably within the immediate catchment area for Kensington Primary School, which currently holds an Ofsted "Outstanding" rating. Other high-performing local institutions include Essex Primary School ("Outstanding") and Little Ilford School ("Good"). Residents benefit from proximity to extensive green spaces, including Plashet Park and the vast open acreage of Wanstead Flats, which marks the southern edge of Epping Forest. Transport & Connectivity The property is exceptionally well-connected, making it a viable option for City and West End commuters:

  • Manor Park Station (Elizabeth Line): Provides high-speed access to Liverpool Street (c. 15 mins), Canary Wharf (c. 20 mins), and Bond Street (c. 25 mins).

  • East Ham Station: Offers District and Hammersmith & City line services into the City and West End.

  • Woodgrange Park: Provides Overground connections toward Barking and Gospel Oak.

EPC Rating: D
