Set on a large plot in Ealing, this five-bedroom detached period house offers generous living across 4,326 sq ft and a sunny south-facing garden with a pavilion and outdoor kitchen — ideal for family entertaining. The house retains strong period character: high ceilings, decorative coving, grand fireplaces, large sash-style windows and separate reception rooms that suit both everyday family life and larger gatherings.
Practical benefits include secure gated parking for several cars, direct garden access from multiple reception rooms, and planning permission in place for a rear extension plus a loft/top-floor conversion (subject to planning approval). The property sits about 0.3 miles from Ealing Broadway station (Elizabeth Line, Central and District lines) and close to a wide choice of primary and secondary schools.
There are some important, factual drawbacks to note. The EPC rating is E and the property is solid brick with no known cavity insulation, so energy efficiency and running costs are likely to be higher than modern standards. Council tax is very expensive for this band, and the local crime level is described as high; buyers should factor these ongoing costs and security considerations into any purchase decision.
The house suits buyers seeking substantial period accommodation with scope to modernise and increase living space — particularly families who value proximity to transport links and schools. The existing planning consents and large footprint offer clear potential for renovation-led value uplift, but the property will benefit from an energy-efficiency upgrade and general modernisation to realise that potential.
