6 bed detached house for sale in Eaton Rise, London, W5 (ref: 512079)

Big Dreams Deserve A BIG Blank Canvas. This versatile Victorian home hits the sweet spot if you’ve always dreamed of creating your perfect period property. With four substantial floors, it offers so much scope to blend period charm with modern design.

If you’re looking for a move-in-ready property where all the work has already been done for you then this large Victorian detached isn’t for you. But it’s not a back-to-brick complete refurb either.

It’s in a pretty decent condition, with many of the beautiful original, period features intact.

You’re unlikely to get the builders in the minute you get hold of the keys. So why not enjoy a few months of the substantial annual rental income currently being achieved, to build up a refurb budget whilst you finalise your plans?

When you climb the steps and enter through the attractive stained glass panelled front door, the ground floor currently has 3 reception rooms and a w/c.

The raised ground floor lends itself to having a stunning double reception room being reinstated and the two rooms at the rear give you plenty of options for a home office, music room or kids den. The ceiling height is particularly impressive on this floor, as is the period cornicing, marble fireplaces and other features indicative of the period the property would have been built.

That said, the heart of your family home is likely to be on the lower ground floor.

The lower ground floor has a spacious kitchen/breakfast room and another bay-fronted reception room. Like the room above, this has a gorgeous traditional fireplace, high ceiling and decorative coving.

There’s a conservatory off the kitchen/breakfast room, giving access to the west-facing 25m rear garden.

The garden is just as much of a blank canvas as the house itself. It has side access and there’s more than enough room to extend and steal a little space - or build a garden office, gym or even a bar.

The kitchen is fairly modern, well equipped and has plenty of storage. But there’s every chance you may want to open up the entire floor to create a much more sociable space for cooking, dining and relaxing. So you’ll probably rip out the current kitchen and replace it with something contemporary and open plan.

As you’d expect with a property that spans more than 3,000 sq ft, the upper two floors have no shortage of bedrooms and bathrooms.

The first floor has two double bedrooms (the front bedroom having an en-suite with both bath and shower), a single bedroom and a shower room.

The loft has been converted to form the top floor, which has three more double bedrooms and another bathroom.

You’ve got plenty of potential to create a home within a home on the top floor (you could sacrifice a bedroom to create a kitchenette up there). Perfect if you have teenagers.

Or if you need to use some of the ground floor as bedrooms for those who struggle with stairs, you’ve still got plenty of room elsewhere.

The property is practical too, with off-street parking on the drive. You won’t have to wrestle with parallel parking or fight for a space and it does give you the chance to install an EV charging point.

Having said that, you’re so close to the Underground you may not need a car.

You’re only a 6-minute walk from Ealing Broadway station. Here you can hop onto a new Elizabeth Line train which will get you to Paddington in less than 20 minutes.

That also means you’re only a short walk from the big-name retailers and restaurants on the Broadway.

If you have children, the fantastic local schools are another great reason to move here.

Christ the Saviour CofE Primary School (rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted) is just 6 minute's walk away.

For older kids, Drayton Manor High School (also ‘Outstanding’) is just a 15-minute bus ride away.

If you prefer independent schools, there’s a great selection of both single-sex and co-ed schools nearby, catering for all ages. These include Notting Hill & Ealing High School, St Benedicts, Durston House & Montpelier.

This substantial Victorian residence offers the chance to bring your dreams to life by combining period charm and modern design in a very sought-after Ealing location.

It has generous-sized rooms, solid build quality and is brimming with period features. It’s now just looking for ambitious owners to bring it back to its former glory as a lived-in and loved family home.

We’re expecting plenty of interest from those with the vision and budget to turn their dreams into reality - make sure you don’t miss out by calling 020 3488 6445 to book a viewing.
