Coney Hall.

A short history

The name comes from Coney Hall Farm, first mentioned in the 17th century, whose tenant had the right to catch "coneys", or rabbits, on nearby Jackson's Heath. After the death of Sir Henry Lennard in 1928, the farm was bought by the developers Morrell Brothers, who built the estate in the 1930s.

In 1937 Coney Hall made national news when residents, led by Elsy Borders, went on a mortgage strike over poorly built homes. Their case helped strengthen the legal position of homebuyers.

The homes

Coney Hall is mostly two-storey 1930s houses with bay windows and half-timbered gables, many of them semi-detached, with gardens and potential to extend. It is popular with families stepping up from a flat, and with buyers who want space within reach of London.

Green space
