5 bedroom detached house for sale

Stunning and generously proportioned home with large garden.

Description

This stunning and generously proportioned home on Castlebar Road spans an impressive 3,045 sq ft, offering a thoughtfully designed layout that perfectly suits both relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining.

Originally christened Eton Villa, one of a handful of exclusive residences on the ascent towards the summit of Castlebar Hill, the house was later renamed 56 Castlebar Road as Ealing ‘Queen of the Suburbs’ grew into a London Borough. Built in 1864 by Henry Cheeswright, it boasts the largest plot in the row of villas he developed.

Remarkably, the property has seldom changed hands since its construction, with a single family in residence from 1897 to 1964, and another from 1964 to the present day, testament to its enduring appeal and timeless character.

The ground floor welcomes you with elegant reception rooms, a bright conservatory, a formal dining area, and a separate kitchen, all seamlessly connected to create a warm and inviting flow. With direct access to a private garage and expansive garden, this level combines historic charm with everyday practicality, making it ideal for both hosting and unwinding. Upstairs, the second floor features five spacious and inviting bedrooms, offering exceptional flexibility for growing families, guests, or home working. This floor also includes generous eaves storage, a well-appointed bathroom with a separate WC, and access to a private terrace at first-floor level, overlooking the rear garden, a peaceful retreat and perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, a large carriage driveway allows for easy entry and exit and offers parking for several vehicles, while a side passage provides potential vehicular access to the rear, ideal for garden projects or future development. The rear garden itself is exceptionally large, offering a rare opportunity for outdoor living, entertaining and play during the summer months. With significant development potential (STPP), including loft conversion, garage adaptation, or extending into the garden, the home offers exciting possibilities to tailor and expand the space to suit evolving needs.

Flooded with natural light throughout, the home feels open and airy, while its layout strikes a perfect balance between privacy and connection. Designed with comfort and longevity in mind, this is a residence ready to evolve with your lifestyle.
