An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial five bedroom Victorian family home, enviably positioned directly opposite Well Street Common on one of E9's most prestigious and tightly held residential roads.
This is a unique opportunity to purchase one of the most desirable properties in Victoria Park Village. Arranged over three floors, in addition to a useful cellar, this wonderful home offers the scale, flexibility and proportions that are increasingly difficult to find in this part of East London.
This house has five bedrooms, one ensuite shower and three toilets (one with bath and shower), multiple reception and entertaining spaces, a front garden with a direct view over Well Street Common, no parking problems (houses only on one side of the street) and a beautifully established rear garden with a summer house/work area that has water, electricity and a sedum roof. This is a home that is particularly well suited to family life.
The property opens into an inviting entrance hallway, with a front door featuring original stained glass, setting the tone for the generous proportions that continue throughout.
The double reception room is a particular highlight, combining striking high ceilings with an abundance of natural light, a large sash window overlooking the Common and gorgeous original fireplaces, one of which is working and provides open fires in the winter. It is a characterful and impressive space with plenty of room for separate seating and entertaining areas, complemented by the original working dividing doors.
To the rear, the kitchen is presented in good decorative order and offers excellent proportions, with ample space for dining and entertaining. It has a glass roof on the extension, French doors to the garden and a fully working original open fireplace, ideal for winter family meals and dinner parties.
A downstairs WC provides useful additional space, with a fridge, washer and dryer, plus room for coats. The cellar is currently used for storage and offers valuable additional space.
The rear garden is a wonderful feature of the property. Generously proportioned and well suited to family life, it includes a built-in large brick BBQ. It provides an excellent space for outdoor dining, entertaining and children to play, with a summer house or workspace positioned at the far end of the garden.
Inside the house, the first floor provides three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes and original fireplaces, alongside a family bathroom and separate WC.
The second floor provides two further bedrooms, one with an original fireplace and Velux window, and one with its own shower, creating a genuinely flexible five-bedroom arrangement that can accommodate children, guests, working from home or changing family requirements over time.
The location is arguably one of the property's greatest assets. Directly opposite Well Street Common, residents have an exceptional open green space literally on their doorstep.
The Common provides a wonderful community setting with open grassland, recreational space and a real sense of neighbourhood, while the surrounding streets are predominantly residential and particularly popular with families.
The combination of period architecture, generous houses, green space and a strong local community gives this pocket of Hackney a distinctive village-like feel.
The immediate amenities are equally impressive. Victoria Park Village (less than 10 mins walk from the house) provides eclectic shopping including two unique independent boutiques, two children’s toy shops, an independent fresh fish shop, Gails Bakery, Ginger Pig butcher, a Deli and a number of fresh and organic fruit and veg shops. Well Street is also close by with the first ever Tesco and it too has developed a strong independent identity, with cafés, bakeries, restaurants, pubs, convenience stores and specialist shops, while Mare Street and Homerton High Street provide a broader range of everyday amenities. The area has retained a strong community feel, with local residents describing the Victoria Park area as having a village atmosphere.
Transport connections are excellent. There is a bus stop on the common and within 15 minutes you can be on the central line at Mile End. Homerton Overground Station is approximately 600 metres away, with London Fields and Hackney Central Overground stations also within easy reach. These provide convenient connections across East London and towards the City, while Hackney Wick, Hackney Downs and Cambridge Heath stations provide further options. There are numerous bus routes operating nearby, making journeys towards Hackney Central, Dalston, Stratford and central London straightforward.

A new popular hangout is The Sunday market on Chatsworth Road which just seems to be getting better and better as something new, whether it’s an organic food shop, vintage fabrics and designer must-haves to rare meats and artisanal bread, is opening up in what seems to be every other week.
Hackney, and nearby London Fields, is buzzing with new cafes, bars and restaurants. Hackney is also positively throbbing with art galleries, and on the first Thursday of every month, the galleries of East London open their doors until 9pm, offering art for all.
This gives residents the opportunity to take advantage of the city's most exciting, artistically vibrant and culturally thriving borough.
