5 bed semi-detached house for sale in Waldeck Road, Ealing, London, W13 (ref: 1018634)

Why we’d buy it

There’s a lot of house here, and importantly, it’s the kind of space that actually works for family life. At just over 2,100 sq ft, you’ve got five proper bedrooms, four bath/shower rooms and plenty of separation when everyone needs their own corner. Downstairs, the real star is the substantial open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, opening through bi-folding doors onto a wonderfully private south-facing garden. There’s still a separate dining room and a generous front reception too, so going open-plan hasn’t meant sacrificing the grown-up rooms.

The house has been beautifully refurbished with a smart contemporary finish and attractive wooden flooring, but it still has the proportions and handsome frontage you want from a period home. Add a driveway, utility room, excellent storage and a chain-free sale, and the practical boxes are very well covered. Then there’s the location: a quiet, tree-lined road in the sought-after St Stephen’s area, with West Ealing and its Elizabeth line station within walking distance. Five-bedroom family houses with this much space, a south-facing garden and off-street parking aren’t exactly ten-a-penny around here.
