Alexandria Road, Ealing, London, W13

What the owner loves:

We have loved living here - our first family home - and have enjoyed shaping it into a modern yet practical family space. The heart of the home has been the open-plan kitchen, which is filled with light from our south-facing garden all year round, and has been where we have loved having our family meals and hosting dinners with friends. The living room has been a great space for both cosy film nights and for our kids to play. Having the space upstairs for a home office, in addition to the double bedrooms, has given us a lot of flexibility to grow over the past few years. Being a very short walk from parks, supermarkets, and the station has made daily life very easy and convenient.

Some additional features the owners love:
- Recessed lighting in the living room to provide dim lighting for movie nights
- Luxury flooring downstairs, which is soft underfoot and easy to clean
- Built-in Ethernet networking throughout the house, with a Virgin media cable in the lounge
- Boarded loft for convenient extra storage
- En-suite bathroom within the master bedroom for added convenience and privacy
- South facing office space/ third bedroom which gets a lot of natural light during the day

Why we'd buy his home:

This is a family home that has been reimagined with a kind of quiet brilliance - every room has been shaped to work beautifully in practice, yet not at the expense of flair, character or charm. The layout flows with an easy logic, from the luxurious kitchen-diner and separate utility, to two modern bathrooms and an additional WC, while the principal suite, cleverly designed, feels more boutique hotel than suburban compromise. This is a home that rewards both your sense of style and your common sense.

Step outside and you’ll find a south-facing garden that does more than simply provide outdoor space - it’s a genuine sun-trap, the sort of place where weekend coffees stretch lazily into afternoon glasses of wine. The period architecture gives the house undeniable kerb appeal, the kind that makes you feel a little taller every time you put the key in the door. It’s not just about living well inside; it’s about arriving home with a smile.

And of course, the location clinches it. Nestled in a prime Ealing location with outstanding schools and the cultural buzz of Ealing Broadway balanced by the boutiquey charm of Pitshanger Village, everything you need is on the doorstep. And just moments from the high-speed Lizzy Line (relative time-travel for commuters!)

Practical, beautiful, and brilliantly placed - this is a home that ticks every box, but still manages to feel like more than the sum of its parts.
