What the owners said about the house.

The moment we stepped over the threshold, we knew this was our home. It has been a dream come true living in such a beautiful building with so much history. We've had many special occasions indoors and out with wonderful memories. This is a house that loves people. It has given warmth, security, peacefulness, wildlife and so much space! We will always feel privileged to have lived here.

What is the layout like?

The ground floor offers excellent entertaining and family space with a generous front reception room featuring a bay window and fireplace, alongside a second reception and dining room with French doors opening directly onto the mature rear garden. The dining room has been thoughtfully updated with the fireplace reinstated, bespoke Art Deco wall radiators installed, and a striking built in Chinese style cupboard creating a wonderful focal point.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with great attention to detail and features integrated appliances, a SMEG six ring stainless steel range cooker, engineered wooden flooring and bespoke industrial style wall radiators. The two sets of french doors provide plenty of natural light and give access to the garden.

A separate accessible wet room adds further practicality. The space works particularly well for modern family living and entertaining, creating a natural connection between the kitchen and outdoor space.

What is upstairs like?

The first floor provides three double bedrooms, a generous fourth bedroom and a large family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, handmade wooden shutter blinds and updated flooring. The top floor offers an excellent additional double bedroom complete with its original sink, making it an ideal guest room, teenager’s space or home office.

What is the outside space like?

The mature rear garden has been beautifully maintained and enhanced over the years with additional privacy fencing, trellis dividers, cobbled seating areas, updated lighting and water features, together with a handcrafted arbour creating a peaceful outdoor setting. A particularly rare benefit is the brick built double garage which is currently arranged as a gym and DIY workshop, offering fantastic flexibility for modern family living. Side access, a newly fitted side gate and updated garage doors further enhance practicality.

What makes this home stand out?

This is a home that balances character and functionality exceptionally well. Original fireplaces, restored floor tiling, generous proportions and high ceilings retain the charm of the Edwardian era, while the carefully considered improvements throughout make it perfectly suited for modern family living. The property is also ideally positioned for Ealing Common, excellent transport connections, and highly regarded local schools.
