Description

This remarkable property, formerly known as Eton Villa, presents an opportunity for both renovation and investment in a prime location on Castlebar Road. Spanning a substantial 3,045 sq ft, the home features a well-considered layout that caters to both casual family living and formal entertaining. Built in 1864 by Henry Cheeswright, this villa boasts the largest plot among its peers and has remained largely unchanged since its construction, having been home to just two families over more than a century. The ground floor comprises elegant reception spaces, a bright conservatory, a dedicated dining room, and an independent kitchen that flows seamlessly together. The first floor offers five sizable bedrooms complemented by generous storage solutions, a family bathroom with an additional WC, and access to a private terrace overlooking the expansive rear garden. This outdoor space is remarkably large for the area and supports potential development opportunities (STPP) such as garden extensions or loft conversions. Externally, the property features a spacious carriage driveway for multiple vehicles and side access which could facilitate further development of the rear garden area. Given the overall size and condition of the villa, there are numerous possibilities to enhance or expand the existing structure to meet personal needs or investment goals. Natural light floods throughout this historically significant home while providing a blend of privacy and openness — making it ideal for modern lifestyles while maintaining its classic charm. With its strategic location just 0.4 miles from Ealing Broadway Station and close proximity to vibrant local amenities and reputable schools, this property truly holds long-term appeal for homeowners and investors alike.
