Description
Offered at auction, this two-bedroom garden cottage is arranged over two floors and measures approximately 667 sq ft. Its open-plan kitchen and reception room extends more than 22 ft and includes exposed brickwork, a spiral staircase and doors opening onto the garden. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted storage, and a family bathroom.
The private garden is approximately 43 ft long. The property has lapsed planning for a single-storey ground-floor extension, so any extension or reconfiguration would require fresh consent and further checks. Residents are understood to qualify for on-street parking through Ealing Council, subject to confirmation.
The cottage is in Poet's Corner, close to Churchfield Road and within reach of Acton Main Line, Acton Central and East Acton stations. It is offered with a share of freehold and a lease stated as 99 years from 1 January 2002. The sale is unconditional, with a deposit and buyer's fee payable by the successful purchaser; prospective bidders should review the legal pack and sale conditions.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This characterful two-bedroom cottage has a lot to like in its bright open-plan living space, exposed brickwork and direct access to a generous private garden. The kitchen and bathroom are usable but dated, so there is scope for a light cosmetic update, while the lapsed extension planning is a possibility to investigate rather than an assured route to more space.
The price is the main drawback: at £825 per sq ft, the asking price is around 19% above the local average. With a further programme of improvements, the purchase and works costs would also be stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this size; that comparison is not a forecast of post-renovation value. The garden, character and Poet’s Corner setting give it appeal, but the numbers make this a low-opportunity project at the current asking price.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes while retaining their usable layouts and fixtures.
- Make the most of the long open-plan reception, exposed brick feature and garden doors as the home’s defining living space.
- Explore whether the lapsed single-storey extension proposal can be renewed or reworked, subject to current planning consent.
Key risks
- At the asking price, the purchase plus a programme of improvements looks stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area.
- All-in costs look stretched after allowing for the asking price and a non-cosmetic works programme — roughly 18% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
