Woodrange Avenue, Ealing, London, W5

What the owner loves:

Woodgrange Avenue is a true mini community and it's hard to walk down the street without seeing a friendly face. The houses themselves were constructed in the late 50's and you can feel the level of craftsmanship all around you when living in this spacious place. In fact the houses still have the name of the individual craftsman who actually built the house, in cast iron letters on the letter box.

The immediate local area is also a wonderful community including the most delightful Japanese deli, supermarket, and a patisserie that makes and sells on the premises some of the best pastries you will have ever tasted. These are just a few of many reasons that I have loved living here and I'm sure you will too.

Why we would rent this home:

This beautiful, expansive, three-bed two-bath garden flat is a true sanctuary. At circa 1,100 sq ft, it cleverly balances generous space with an everyday ease that makes city living feel almost bucolic - the quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac creates a sense of serenity, which is becoming increasingly rare in London. There’s a kind of architectural storytelling in the period charm and craftsmanship that whispers you’re in a place with history and soul. 

But it isn’t just the joy of Sunday mornings in the garden that makes this a place worth renting - the Elizabeth, Piccadilly and District Lines are within walking distance, taking you into town, the airport and beyond with minimal fuss.

And the location spoils you in terms of wonderful local amenities - amazing sushi, independent cafes, useful supermarkets, sprawling parks and a desirable tennis club can be found a stone's throw away. You can also find a variety of excellent local schools close by, both primary and secondary, including Ada Lovelace and the Japanese school.
