Third Avenue, Manor Park, London E12 6DT

A well presented three bedroom semi detached family home occupying a popular position on Third Avenue in Manor Park, with an approximate gross internal area of 140.6 sq m (1,513 sq ft), benefitting from a ground floor rear extension, garage, and driveway parking. The property is offered with genuine and substantial development potential, holding both a live planning permission and an existing certificate of lawful development, together offering a clear path to a significantly larger family home.

The Property

Arranged over two floors, the property opens into a welcoming reception room (14'9" x 13'1") with a bay window to the front and a striking exposed brick effect feature wall. A separate dining room (13'1" x 11'9") leads through to the kitchen (17'11" x 16'7"), a bright, extended space flooded with natural light via a skylight and fitted with a range of wall and base units, gas hob, and space for freestanding appliances. A utility room (8'1" x 7'3") and a ground floor shower room (7'7" x 4'11") complete the ground floor accommodation, with useful additional storage in the shed to the rear (7'10" x 5'11").

To the first floor, three bedrooms are arranged around a family bathroom (6'6" x 5'9"). The principal bedroom (15'2" x 13'2") and second bedroom (13'2" x 11'10") both offer generous double proportions, with a third bedroom (8'2" x 5'9") well suited to a single room, home office, or nursery.

Outside, the rear garden extends to approximately 44'2" x 28'10", laid predominantly to paving, offering a low maintenance outdoor space with room for garden furniture, play equipment, or further landscaping. To the front, a driveway (28'10" x 6'3") provides off street parking leading to a garage (16'11" x 8'2") and identified within the current planning permission as a candidate for conversion to habitable accommodation.

Planning Permission & Development Potential

The property benefits from planning permission granted by the London Borough of Newham under reference 25/02385/HH (granted 9th December 2025) for a garage conversion with alterations to the front elevation, a part one, part two storey side extension, and a first floor rear extension. The approved scheme adds approximately 47.86 sq m of additional internal floor area, along with one further bedroom and two further bathrooms. Consultation with 11 neighbouring properties drew no objections. Works must commence within three years of the grant date (by December 2028) for the permission to remain valid.

In addition, the property benefits from an existing Certificate of Lawful Development (ref 18/00822/CLP, granted April 2018) confirming a loft conversion with rear dormer as lawful permitted development, offering scope for a further bedroom with en suite facilities.

Combined, the two consents offer a clear route to extend the property to a substantial five bedroom family home with four bathrooms, subject to the buyer's own due diligence. Full decision notices, delegated reports and approved drawings are available on request.

Location

Third Avenue sits within Manor Park, E12, a well connected residential pocket of the London Borough of Newham characterised by streets of Victorian and Edwardian housing. The area has a strong sense of community, with a good range of local independent shops, places of worship, and everyday amenities along Romford Road and the wider Manor Park high street.

For green space, residents are well placed for Wanstead Flats, the expansive open parkland forming the southernmost tip of Epping Forest, offering woodland walks, sports pitches, and ponds within easy reach. Wanstead Park itself, a further 140 acre historic parkland with lakes and woodland trails, is also close by.

Transport links are a particular strength of the location. Manor Park station, served by the Elizabeth line on the Great Eastern Main Line, offers a direct and fast run into London Liverpool Street, making this an excellent option for commuters into the City and West End, with onward connections to Paddington and beyond. East Ham station, with District and Hammersmith & City line connections, and its larger retail offering, is also within easy reach.

The wider Manor Park and Aldersbrook area is known for its access to well regarded local schools, and the property's position offers a good balance of period residential character, everyday convenience, and strong transport connectivity.
