Shakespeare Crescent, Manor Park, E12

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire one of the largest homes on the coveted Shakespeare Crescent in Manor Park's sought-after Poets' Estate. This expansive four bedroom, two reception room Victorian end-of-terrace home spans over 2,000 sq ft and boasts extraordinary potential to become a grand residence or a prime development project. With a large basement, loft space, scope for a full-width rear extension and a possible outbuilding or flat conversion (STPP), this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape a truly unique East London home.

Requiring full renovation, this property remains structurally impressive with charming period bones and exceptional width, enhanced by its three rare bay windows-two to the side and one to the front-uncommon in the area and allowing an abundance of natural light to flow throughout.

Perfect for developers, growing families or investment buyers with vision, the home offers ample scope to extend or reconfigure into a substantial five or six bedroom dwelling, or even convert into multiple flats (subject to planning consent).

A full renovation project with unmatched potential

Ground Floor:
The wide entrance hallway leads into two generously proportioned reception rooms, both featuring high ceilings, large bay windows and original detailing. These versatile living spaces can be reimagined as formal lounges, family rooms or even extended into an open-plan kitchen-diner. The rear of the property hosts a separate dining room, adjacent to the kitchen and providing access to the garden. A ground floor WC adds convenience.

Basement:
Accessed via the hallway, the large basement offers an exceptional opportunity to create further living space, a cinema room, gym or separate dwelling (STPP).

First Floor:
The first floor is home to four well-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, all enjoying large windows and generous proportions. The principal bedroom spans over 16ft in length and overlooks the rear garden. A further loft space above offers yet more potential to extend upwards, subject to planning.

Outdoor Space:
The home features a spacious wraparound garden due to its end-of-terrace position, with enough room for secure off-street parking and plenty of potential for landscaping, entertaining, or development. With direct access from the side of the property, the garden could also accommodate an outbuilding or studio (STPP), and its generous proportions allow for easy expansion at the rear.
