2 bed bungalow for sale in Blandford Road, Ealing, London, W5 (ref: 540524)

Decisions, Decisions - Do You Want A Two Bedroom, Single Storey Doer-Upper Or The Chance To Build A Three Storey, Six Bedroom Luxury Home? Those are your options, with planning permission in place for this bungalow on a substantial Olde Ealing plot.

As it’s called “The Bungalow” you’d be right to assume it’s the only single storey property on this quiet residential street. It’s pretty unique, as you’d expect to find mostly Edwardian semis or Victorian terraces in this popular part of Olde Ealing.

And if you’re looking for a single storey home to do up and make your own, the good news is that the decoration is neutral and unfussy.

Unlike many traditional bungalows, you won’t have to spend hours chipping off Anaglypta wallpaper or stripping wood panels from the walls.

It’s the sort of property where you could move in and then tackle it on a room by room basis.

It’s double fronted, meaning both the spacious lounge and front bedroom get the benefit of a bay window.

The kitchen, second bedroom and wetroom style shower room are all at the rear.

The lounge and bedrooms are all neat and tidy with modern laminate flooring so you may prioritise the kitchen or shower room as most in need of an update.

But the zero-maintenance substantial plot gives you plenty of options.

There’s off street parking at the side and a good size garden at the rear, with certainly enough space to extend.

But why make do with extending when you could start from scratch and build a brand new, six bedroom, three storey home?

Plans have already approved for a superb three storey detached property with a sociable ground floor, three first floor bedrooms and a further three on the top floor.

Blandford Road is in a popular part of South Ealing/Olde Ealing. It’s a quiet street but only round the corner from the local shops, pubs and cafés on St Mary’s Road.

It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to South Ealing station on the Piccadilly Line or 20 minutes up to Ealing Broadway - which gives you access to a much shorter Crossrail commute.

It's great for families with young children, you couldn’t be much closer to Grange Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) - it’s only 5 minutes walk away.

Older kids have a choice of “Good” or “Outstanding High Schools” only 20 minutes walk away in nearby Acton.

If you prefer independent or fee paying schools, you’re equally well catered for. There’s a choice of co-ed schools (such as St Benedict’s) or single sex schools (such as Notting Hill & Ealing High School for girls or Durston House for boys) all within walking distance.

And if you like getting out into green space you’re spoiled for choice with both Walpole Park and Lammas Park less than 10 minutes walk away.

This is a unique opportunity likely to appeal to downsizers who want a single storey home they can make their own OR developers looking for a prime South Ealing / Olde Ealing plot to create a luxurious new family home.
