Montpelier Road, Ealing, London, W5

What the owner loves

The south facing garden is spacious, green and secluded with a variety of flowering bushes and mature trees providing a display of different colours through the seasons. It is perfect for entertaining, chilling, hide and seek, football or other activities and is home or stopping off spot for many different birds. I am writing this while listening to birdsong and church bells.

We are fortunate too to be near parks and other green spaces – visitors who like running recommend the very accessible local routes. Schools are in easy walking distance and there are multiple opportunities close by for recreational activities whether dance or exercise classes, sports clubs et al. The local cinema and theatre are a 15 minute walk away and there are frequent high quality concerts at various local venues.

The house is light and spacious with masses of storage space including basement, loft, walk in wardrobe and other cupboard space. The garage is large and there is an outside workshop, attached to the house.

Location is also near the top of this list. We are a 10 minute walk from Ealing Broadway and very near multiple transport links – frequent buses, Elizabeth Line, train, tube. Usually its not a question of how to get somewhere but which option should we take.

I am very sad to be leaving this wonderful house which has been our family home for 35 years but now it is time to move on. While I can take the memories with me I have a long list of everything which I will be sorry to leave behind.

What the Agent says:

Situated on a substantial corner plot and overlooking Montpelier Park, this imposing period property really has the wow factor.

It's been lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 35 years. Now it’s time for them to move on, it gives another family the chance to make it their own.

As you’d expect with a sizeable Victorian residence, there’s an abundance of reception rooms. Three to be exact, with the 10m long, bay-fronted lounge/dining room being the pick of the bunch.

Somewhat surprisingly the kitchen doesn’t match the grand scale enjoyed elsewhere. It’s not small - there’s plenty of storage space in the fitted units and room for a small dining table by the French doors to the garden.

That said, you may consider opening up the reception room next door to create a more sociable family space for cooking, eating and relaxing together.

When doing so you may want to price for some full width bi-fold doors or even an extension (subject to planning permission of course). Either way, it would open up the sun trap south facing back garden and make it even more perfect for entertaining.

The secluded 20m back garden is a lovely place to enjoy the sun whilst listening to the sound of birdsong and church bells. There’s also plenty of space to play with the kids or to throw a lavish garden party.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms (one of which has an ensuite), a modern shower room, and the enormous principal bedroom suite. This is a fabulous space with a large ensuite bathroom, a dressing room and views of the back garden. The top floor has a further three double bedrooms and one single bedroom.

The property is practical too, with a cellar, a large garage (in addition to the plentiful parking on the front forecourt) and a workshop.

The location next to Montpelier Park may be quiet and leafy but you’re less than 15 minutes walk from the bustling Ealing Broadway. If you’re heading further afield the new Elizabeth Line cuts the journey time to Canary Wharf to under half an hour.

There’s a belt-busting selection of independent food shops and cafés nearby, with Pitshanger Lane being only a short walk away. You’ll certainly appreciate being so close to the park so you can run off all those delicious calories!

Families with school-age children will also appreciate being so close to a choice of great schools.

School run stress will become a thing of the past as Montpelier Primary School (rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted) is only 2 minutes walk away. Older kids have a little further to travel to Drayton Manor High School (another “Outstanding” school) but it's still only a 5 minute drive or 11 minute bike ride away.

If you prefer independent fee paying schools there’s a great choice of single sex or co-ed schools nearby.

You can tell that this substantial Victorian home has been truly loved by its current owners. But now’s the time for the next chapter in their life and the next chapter for this versatile property.
