St. Marys Road, Ealing, London, W5

What the owner loves (from the daughters who grew up here)

The joyful memories of 10 St. Mary’s are endless.

My sister and I ruled the top floor — our domain for dressing up, messing around, and epic games of hide and seek (this house is brilliant for it, with all its twists and turns). We’d race up the stairs, dodging the expertly thrown slippers from Mum, who somehow always had perfect aim.

Family gatherings around the dining table were loud, chaotic, and full of love, food fights, and the other kind, too. And we still laugh about the time Mum forgot the potatoes in the Aga for two days and wandered around muttering, “Can anyone else smell croissant?”

As we grew older, Mum graduated from picking up toys to mopping up beer after our “secret” teenage parties. This house has seen it all — and held us through it all.

We hope the new owners fall in love with it like we did. There’s absolute joy here, if you let it in.

‍ Why we’d buy it

Because life’s better when your local coffee spot does grilled cheese toasties that could start a religion. Seriously — Pulp is just up the road and it’s worth every bite.

But it’s not just the food. St. Marys Road is the heart of the action — Walpole Park for picnics, Lammas Park for kickabouts, and pubs like The Rose & Crown for everything else. You’re spoilt.

And then there’s the house itself: a handsome detached Victorian that feels both grand and grounded. The proportions are generous, the light is glorious, and there’s enough space for a proper family life — plus guests, grannies, or a home office (or all three).

We love that it hasn’t been over-modernised. The kitchen has character — take a look at that electric blue Aga and the exposed brick. But there’s also scope: tweak the layout, open up the rear, or take your time and grow into it. You’re not buying a project — you’re buying potential.

And not to be shallow, but that red front door? She's giving the primary character energy.
