Kenilworth Road, London, E3

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Nestled close to Victoria Park, this four-bedroom Victorian terrace has been thoughtfully renovated with beauty, practicality, and a clear sense of purpose. Light is the quiet hero here: it pours in through a roof light on the lower-ground level and through floor-to-ceiling doors that open directly onto the garden, softening the boundary between indoors and out.

The open-plan layout brings the kitchen, dining space, and living area together in a way that feels relaxed and social. Original period details sit comfortably alongside contemporary finishes, giving the space an easy, lived-in elegance. Here, as throughout the house, the owner’s design eye is evident—each decision contributing to a cohesive whole that honours the home’s original character.

Upstairs, a double reception room provides a calm space to unwind, perfect for winter evenings spent in front of the woodburner. Beyond, two spacious, peacefully positioned double bedrooms sit alongside two adaptable rooms that can flex to suit different needs, whether that’s a home office, nursery, or occasional guest space.

The architect-led renovation is most apparent at the top of the house, where a mansard extension creates a dedicated principal suite. Here, a picture window frames treetop views, while a freestanding roll-top bath introduces a moment of everyday indulgence. Outside, the garden has been thoughtfully arranged for different moods and moments: a stone patio for easy weekend mornings and relaxed evenings with friends, and a lawn that offers space for green fingers, play, or simply unwinding outdoors.

Living here means Victoria Park becomes an extension of your garden. In just two minutes, you can be strolling to the lake, grabbing a coffee, browsing weekend markets, or following the Regent’s Canal and Hertford Union towpaths for longer, leafy walks. It’s a neighbourhood shaped by the park, the canal and the city around it—all close enough to thread naturally into daily life.

THE OWNERS SAY

This is our dream London home. The house’s proximity to the park is amazing. From summer evenings in the park with takeaway pizza and wine, to winter walks with our dog or visiting the many playgrounds with our kids; we have loved having such a beautiful park on the doorstep.

Wandering to the lovely shops in Victoria Park village (Bottle Apostle, The Deli Downstairs and The Ginger Pig to name but a few) is another highlight of the area. And you are also surrounded by great East End pubs here—the list is long, but our top picks are The Palm Tree, The Lord Tredegar and Morgan Arms.

Not only is the area fantastic, but the house is exceptional. We renovated it to the highest possible standard, so it's incredibly comfortable. The big kitchen that flows straight into the garden is the perfect space for family fun or larger gatherings—we will really miss this space in particular. It’s a special place and we will be very sad to leave!

Recent work:
The current owners carried out an architect-led renovation of the entire home, including a mansard loft extension that introduced a new principal suite on the top floor. The outrigger roof was replaced, two bathrooms and a WC were added, and a new kitchen was installed. Behind the scenes, the plumbing and electrics were completely updated, and the garden was repaved, rounding off the refurbishment.

Getting around:
Mile End (Central, District, and Hammersmith & City lines, Z2) is a 15-minute walk away, whisking you into Central London. Some handy bus routes run along Roman Road, at the end of Kenilworth Road, which head into the City and further afield. It’s a short cycle west to Shoreditch, and the Regent’s Canal towpath is moments away for cycling and walking routes south towards Limehouse, and north-west towards Islington, and beyond.

Onward plans:
The current owners are relocating out of London to be closer to family and are able to sell the property chain-free.

Anything else:
The strong sense of community here is keenly felt at the annual street party on nearby Chisenhale Road. Weekly street meets with a cup of tea in hand are also a regular sight.
