7 bedroom detached house for sale

What the owner loves



The house was originally bought by my Grandmother from a local doctor when they ran a laundry and milling business in Acton. My grandfather was also a philanthropist and donated equipment to local hospitals including one of the first X-ray machines. I grew up in the house and have enjoyed the friendly neighbourhood, some of the neighbours have also been on the road for a long time. The house has some good shops nearby and Ealing Broadway is close by. It has great transport links with the Piccadilly line at the end of the road and National Rail and Elizabeth, Central and District lines in Ealing Broadway.



What the agent says:



“A rare chance to purchase” is such an estate agent's cliché but as this imposing Victorian property has been owned by the same family for generations, this really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make it your own.



It’s been very well cared for and is full of period character and charm. But it also gives you a wonderful opportunity to take the best of the period features and combine them with stunning 21st century design.



Think of it as your chance to bring a timeless Victorian classic like Sherlock Holmes bang up to date for the 21st century. Just without Benedict Cumberbatch…



That’s not to say this property hasn’t been graced by significant cultural figures. Award winning actor, director and playwright Errol John was a notable former resident.



The property sits on a substantial plot, with gorgeous gardens surrounding the property on three sides.



The impressive entrance is flanked by elegant columns. When you step inside you’ll appreciate the size and space on offer, as well as the timeless quality of the accommodation.



The ground floor offers a choice of three reception rooms and a separate dining room.

For such a substantial property, the kitchen is relatively small - although there is a separate utility room and w/c.



One look at the layout should have your creative juices flowing by now. That's because there’s scope to open up the kitchen and rear reception room to create a stunning open plan kitchen/dining room/family room with gorgeous views of the garden.



That would create a superb space for the whole family to get together and it would also be perfect for entertaining.



The 300m2 back garden has been well maintained and you can tell the love and care that’s been taken over the years. Even if you’re not particularly green-fingered it will be a lovely place to sit out and enjoy the sunshine.



The first floor has three double bedrooms, a single bedroom and both a kitchenette and a bathroom with a separate shower.



There’s also a further bay-fronted reception room on the first floor giving lovely views of the back garden.



The rooms are all generously sized and there’s plenty of scope to create a truly luxurious and opulent bathroom space, perhaps repurposing the kitchenette to create a larger room.



The family bathroom is spacious but you may want to turn it into a more modern and luxurious one.



The top floor still reflects the bygone era layout - once likely to have been occupied by the various staff members required to run the house.



There are a further three double bedrooms, a kitchenette and shower room, along with another spacious reception room with views over the front gardens.



If you have teenagers this top floor could be ideal as a self contained home within a home, or it could be perfect for welcoming weekend guests.



There’s ample storage space in the basement and plenty of scope for developing the lower floor. As well as being perfect for storing your vintage wines it could be put to a number of uses such as a teenagers den, gym room, games room or home cinema.



If you have young children, West Acton Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only 16 minutes walk or 4 minutes drive away. For older kids, it’s even closer. Twyford CofE High School (another “Good” school) is only a 3 minute drive or 4 minute bike ride away. If you prefer independent fee paying schools there’s an outstanding choice of single sex or co-ed day schools in and around Ealing and the Broadway.



If you do need to head into town for work, shopping, or catching up with friends, there’s easy access to central London via the Piccadilly and District lines from Ealing Common (which is only a 2 minute walk away).



It takes a little longer to walk up to Ealing Broadway but you can catch a speedy Elizabeth Line train from there to take you into town or on to Canary Wharf.



This is a unique opportunity to become the custodian of this hugely impressive period property. It will take work to release it’s full potential but having done so you’ll want to keep the property in your family for generations.
