Summary - ST JUDES COTTAGE, 12A CASTLEBAR HILL, EALING W5 1TD
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Architect‑refurbished detached cottage with 45 ft annexe and secluded courtyard garden.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage and sleeping platforms
A former groundskeeper’s cottage reworked with clear architectural intent, St Jude’s Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house on Castlebar Hill with a generous plot and a striking 45 ft annexe. The current owners — an interior architect and an architectural historian — have completed a sensitive, handmade renovation that stitches contemporary fixtures and joinery into the property’s original form. Light-filled rooms, Velux rooflights and a consistent birch-faced ply and bamboo palette give the house a cohesive, calm feel.
The standout is the separate new-build annexe: a long, bright studio/office with six rooflights, built-in desks and a pull-down bed. Between house and annexe is an elegant courtyard garden planted with jasmine, clematis and wildflower green roof, ideal for outdoor dining and small gatherings. Practical benefits include off-street privacy behind an original wall and bespoke gates, two bathrooms, mains gas central heating, and freehold tenure.
Be clear about the practical drawbacks. The property’s solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), so further insulation or EPC improvements may be needed. Council tax sits above average (Band E). Broadband speeds are only average despite excellent mobile signal, which may affect home-working needs. The house’s compact footprint and some lower ceiling slopes mean room sizes are modest compared with the overall plot size.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character-rich, architect-led residence with a generous plot and a versatile annexe — ideal for a home office, creative studio or guest space. It’s especially well placed for Pitshanger Lane’s shops and Ealing’s transport links, offering an attractive mix of village feel and fast access to central London.
