Hastings Road, Ealing, London, W13

What the owner and her husband love:

We love how light the bedroom is with the large sash windows, the wood panel floors, our walk-in shower with its green tiles, and the cosy private terrace with our flowers and wall lights. We also love the location, with a quick walk to Waitrose, The Gym and West Ealing Station that gets us into the city speedily, and being close to lots of big parks like Walpole and Pitshanger.

Why we'd buy this home:

This beautiful flat is the kind of place that doesn’t just tick boxes - it throws the whole clipboard away and hands you a coffee from the independent café round the corner. It’s been lovingly and thoughtfully refurbished throughout - every decision, every fixture, every finish feels like it was orchestrated with care and intention, creating a space that balances modern comfort with timeless character.

At the centre of this wonderful home is the versatile reception room - a glorious lesson in behavioural design. Wood floors that subconsciously signal quality, natural light that lifts the mood of both you and your houseplants, a sofa nook that invites slow mornings, long reads, and unapologetic lounging, and a dining space that flexes between quick weekday bites and long, laughter-filled dinners - proof that with clever design, you don’t need a big footprint to live large.

The separate kitchen is modern, yes, but in the same way a really good pub still has wooden beams - it’s cottagey, it’s quaint, and it absolutely gets you. The fully tiled shower room blends contemporaneity and character - sleek fixtures and clean lines are elevated by rich racing green feature tiles, adding a bold yet elegant touch.

Then there’s the glorious bedroom, where soft natural light pours through elegant sash windows, illuminating warm wooden floors and the lovely window bench - a perfect spot for retreating from the buzz of the day. Period details like intricate cornicing and a delicate ceiling rose add character and charm, while the bespoke wardrobes, crafted with meticulous attention down to the last handle, provide ample storage and a sense of quiet luxury.

The lovely private patio is your own little square of Tuscany in London, perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. Then there's the communal garden, secure side access for bikes and such, and enough parks and green spaces nearby to make even a Labrador get emotional.

Plus, the Elizabeth Line is moments away, which means your commute is not so much a journey as it is a magic trick.

Factor in the reassuring 50% share of freehold and rare delight of a chain-free seller, it's clear you’re buying peace of mind. This isn’t just a home - it’s an upgrade to your entire way of living, disguised as bricks and mortar.
