Weston Homes Mayesbrook Manor

The heavy demand for properties at What House? Housebuilder of the Year Weston Homes’ stunning development Mayesbrook Manor, Barking, means that potential purchasers need to act fast, as there is only one, two bedroom apartment remaining.

Mayesbrook Manor features the transformation of the 1930s Art Deco college building that formed the centrepiece of the Barking Campus of the University of East London into a £20 million scheme of 106 stylish one, two and three-bedroom apartments. The development’s elegant art-deco architecture has been carefully restored by Weston Homes to a high level of interior specification, with prices ranging from £139,995 to £350,000.

Bob Weston, Chairman and Chief Executive for Weston Homes, comments: “While many housebuilders decreased their specification during the downturn, we have done the opposite and it has paid dividends. Mayesbrook Manor provides some of the highest specification homes in the area at an extremely attractive price and the level of demand we have witnessed demonstrates we have created the right product in the right place. With only one apartment remaining at Mayesbrook Manor, now really is the last chance to buy.”

When completed, Mayesbrook Manor will be four storeys high and will feature three internal lifts. The transformed assembly hall, lecture theatres and classrooms will provide bright and spacious homes with large windows and ceilings up to 4.5 metres high.

Mayesbrook Manor is situated adjacent to Longbridge Road, which offers a range of convenience stores, a post office, cafés and restaurants. The apartments range in size from 525 sq ft up to over 2,200 sq ft, with many over 900 sq ft. Homes boast attractive reception rooms and living areas, designer kitchens complete with the latest mod cons, bedroom suites, contemporary bathrooms and ensuite facilities.

Mayesbrook Manor includes an impressive restored Art Deco entrance foyer and stairwells, circular entrance driveway and landscaped grounds. The project is one of the largest residential conversions of a 1930s Art Deco building to be undertaken in London for some years. The former college is a local landmark, which is recognised by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham as a historic building.

Nestled just nine miles from London’s bustling city centre, Barking provides excellent transport connections via the London Underground, DLR, British Rail and local bus routes to the centre of London, Canary Wharf and Liverpool Street. From Barking Station, via the London Underground, Fenchurch Street is just a 15 minute journey and Oxford Circus is a 33 minute journey. Canary Wharf can be reached by the DLR or a 52 minute bus journey. Barking is also ideally situated for the North Circular road and London’s City Airport.

The last two bedroom apartment is priced at £176,995. For further information visit: weston-homes.com/mayesbrookmanor
