Eaton Rise, Ealing, London, W5

What the owner loves:

67 Eaton Rise has been our home for the past six years — a place where we live, work and socialise. We fully renovated the property in 2020, transforming it into a beautiful, modern space with complete rewiring, new plumbing and full redecoration throughout. Designed with convenience in mind, it’s an incredibly easy house to live in — perfect for our busy lives.

Its triple-aspect position fills the house with natural light, from sunrise in the principal bedroom to the golden glow of sunset in the open-plan kitchen and living area. We love sitting at the breakfast bar on a Saturday morning and whipping up some pancakes. The bathroom is always a real ‘wow’ factor for guests — especially the Bluetooth speakers in the mirror!

We also love the location. It’s just a short walk to Pitshanger, with its beautiful park and excellent coffee from Cinnamon, and an even shorter walk to Ealing Broadway and the convenience of the Elizabeth Line (an extra ten minutes in bed in the morning is always appreciated!)

Why we'd buy this home:

There are homes you live in, and then there are homes that feel like an upgrade to your life’s operating system - and this comfortably sits in the latter category. From the moment you step inside this stunning split-level maisonette, which incidentally feels more like a house, you sense that every detail has been considered not just for function, but for joy: the light cascading through the triple-aspect, the sense of space that belies its footprint, and the high-spec, high-tech finish throughout - it’s as if someone has thought ahead on your behalf. Contemporary yes, but not without real soul. 

The garden-facing private terrace is a luxury. In our increasingly urbanised lives, access to your own outdoor space feels like a secret escape - a place for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or simply to stretch your legs and remind yourself you have a life beyond the sofa. And the beautiful communal gardens add an unexpected sense of calm and community, something you don’t always get with city living. There is also the huge bonus of a separate garage, which handily adjoins the property, rather than being one of a large row, hundreds of yards from your front door! The garage also has power, lighting and comes with a new roof and new door - one less thing to worry about! 

Location, as ever, plays a critical role. A short walk to Ealing Broadway, which boasts a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants as well as extraordinary transport links (Elizabeth, Central, District lines), and the charming independent boutiquey shops and cafés of Pitshanger Village. Whether it’s a brisk commute or an evening stroll to dinner, this home doesn’t just occupy space - it optimises your life around it.

Finally, this isn’t a home that’s merely “presentable”; it’s been completely transformed with smart, modern design choices that make everyday living feel a little more considered. If homes are about creating memories, this one feels like a place worth making them.
