Cavendish Avenue, Ealing, London, W13

What the owner loves:

When I walked into the flat nearly 22 years ago it felt so cosy that I knew I was going to be calling it home. Over the years it has felt more like a little cottage than a maisonette and I will miss this immensely.

I turned my back garden into a little Italian terrazza in memory of my parents and my roots and loved the privacy that this brought me. It is such a quiet residential street and I have felt so very safe here for so many years whilst raising my son.

As I move on to a new adventure I know I will very much miss this little enclave which is something truly rare and special in the heart of a busy city. With so much greenery around, so close to the Elizabeth line, to Pitshanger Lane and to Ealing Broadway, whomever chooses to make this home will, I am sure, find that it is a real treasure, as I have found it to be.

Why we would buy this home:

Welcome to your own personal oasis - a ground-floor garden flat that feels more like a quiet cottage than a city residence. From the moment you arrive through your own private entrance, you feel a subtle but unmistakable shift in tempo: the city’s pulse continues just beyond your door, but inside it becomes something altogether more serene.

Here’s the sort of place where your morning coffee tastes better not because the beans are superior, but because you’re sitting on a stunning Italian terrazza with unexpectedly generous greenery around you.- a corner of calm that re-frames how you experience the rest of your day.

The interior reflects the same thoughtful care: lovingly refurbished throughout with impressive natural light that makes even ordinary moments - cooking, reading, unwinding - feel better than they ought to. The generous principal bedroom with bespoke designer wardrobes isn’t merely practical; it offers a sense of space, order and luxury. 

The transport links are exceptional, including the super-fast, air-conditioned Elizabeth Line, which can take whisk you into town, the airport and beyond, in no time at all. And there is an abundance of local amenities - Ealing Broadway, Pitshanger Lane, West Ealing and Hanwell offering something for everyone, including an array of independent shops, cafes, wine bars and bakeries. 

In short, this wonderful home provides light, privacy, greenery, connection, and that rare feeling of being comfortably tucked away in a city.
