Malplaquet House

A remarkable east London mansion that hasn't been inhabited since 1895 has hit the market for £2.95 million ($4.34 million).

Malplaquet House, described by Rightmove as one of the capital's "forgotten mansions," was built in 1741 by architect Thomas Andrews and later served as the home of brewer Harry Charrington before being divided into lodgings in the mid-19th century.

From 1895, the property was used for storage purposes and nobody has lived there for over a century.

The Grade II-listed home was recently restored to its former glory and whoever buys it will inherit one of the most stunning and atmospheric buildings in the city.

Some of the furniture and details have been added more recently, but the major features of the home date back to the 18th century. 

Take a look inside one of London's hidden wonders.

Malplaquet House is located in east London's up-and-coming Mile End area. It's on the market with Fyfe McDade.



The mansion is tucked away on a quiet street, hidden behind ivy-covered iron railings.



It is a stunning example of a mid-18th London mansion.
