Hillcrest Road, London, W3

A striking semi-detached Edwardian home with an attractive façade and genuine kerb appeal, occupying an enviable position on Hillcrest Road, one of Acton's most desirable residential streets. Extending to over1,800 sq ft, this substantial family home successfully combines the character and craftsmanship of its  Edwardian origins with the comfort and practicality of modern living.

Internally, the house has been carefully maintained and improved whilst preserving the architectural details that give period homes their enduring appeal. Elegant ceiling roses, ornate cornicing, original fireplaces, deep skirting boards and generous ceiling heights run throughout the property, creating a sense of character and proportion that is difficult to replicate in more modern homes.

The ground floor provides excellent living and entertaining space. To the front of the house, a large bay-fronted dining room is flooded with natural light, creating a welcoming space for family meals and entertaining. To the rear, the reception room opens directly onto the garden and serves as the heart of the home, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
French doors open onto a beautifully landscaped south-west-facing garden. Thoughtfully designed with mature planting, a paved terrace and a pergola seating area, it offers a private and peaceful setting for outdoor dining, summer gatherings and evenings in the sun.

The first floor comprises three generous double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the house and enjoys impressive proportions, large bay windows and excellent natural light. A substantial loft room occupies the top floor, providing flexible additional space that could be used as a home office, studio, playroom or guest accommodation. Extensive eaves storage and a useful cellar further enhance the practicality of the home.

Hillcrest Road has long been regarded as one of Acton's most sought-after residential addresses. Quiet and tree-lined, it occupies a unique position between Acton, Ealing and Chiswick, allowing residents to enjoy the distinct character, amenities and lifestyle offered by all three neighbourhoods.

For transport, Acton Town station is within easy reach, providing access to both the Piccadilly and District lines, whilst the Elizabeth Line at Acton Main Line offers fast connections into the West End, the City and Heathrow Airport.

The vast green open spaces of Gunnersbury Park are also nearby. Following extensive investment in recent years, the park offers tennis courts, sports pitches, children's play areas, landscaped gardens, a café and regular community events, making it one of West London's most popular outdoor destinations.

For families, the area is particularly well regarded for its excellent choice of schools. Highly regarded primary options include Ark Byron, Derwentwater and St Vincent's, whilst Twyford Church of England High School is within walking distance. The Japanese School and Ada Lovelace Church of England High School are also nearby, further contributing to the area's enduring appeal amongst families looking to establish long-term roots within the neighbourhood.

Combining period charm, generous proportions and an exceptional location, this is a home that offers the character of a classic  Edwardian house with the space and flexibility required for modern family living.
