Weston Homes’ stunning new redevelopment Mayesbrook Manor in Barking has received an exceptional level of interest selling 36 apartments since the launch at the end of October including the sale of six apartments on the launch weekend.

Buyers were impressed by development’s elegant art-deco architecture that has been carefully restored by Weston Homes and the high level of interior specification. 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.

Weston Homes Chairman and Chief Executive Bob Weston commented: “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 it is the right product in the right place.

“Barking is undergoing large-scale regeneration and there has been a lot of interest in the area. There is pent-up demand in the UK coupled with a serious lack of supply of good quality homes making Mayesbrook Manor a fantastic opportunity to own a new home.”

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, grocers 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 and contemporary bathrooms and ensuite facilities.
