Victoria Road, Ealing, London, W5

What the owners love: Being asked to write what I love about living in Ingleby Lodge… it’s hard to know where to begin, because it has been so much more than just a house to us — it’s been a wonderful family home. When we first saw the house, we knew it was special, because it was like no other Ealing house we’d seen. Ingleby Lodge and no.2 next door are more like country estate gate houses than houses in a London suburb. It has instant pavement appeal and a distinct character. The garden being walled and private adds to that and the lofty rooms and flow of the house are great for family life and entertaining. Over the years it’s hosted lively family Christmases and you can always find a quiet space even with all 5 bedrooms fully occupied and over-excited dogs racing around. The house has given us everything – an opportunity to renovate and modernise to compliment and enhance its stunning architecture, space for family occasions and garden parties to celebrate big birthdays, a calm environment to study and work, even when four adults were doing that during the pandemic, and a peaceful, quiet road to simply live and be. And then there is the location. Tucked away on a quiet road, it offers peace and privacy, yet is just moments from Pitshanger’s wonderful village high street. Having that sense of community, independent shops and green spaces nearby has been invaluable. It truly is the best of both worlds. With our boys now grown and moved out, it deserves another family for it to nurture and to fill it with laughter, energy and new memories — and feel as lucky as we do. Why we would buy this home: Nestled on the prestigious Victoria Road, Ingleby Lodge is a truly exceptional five-bedroom detached residence. Exuding grandeur and stunning distinct architecture, this striking one-of-one home boasts unparalleled curb appeal and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark home in one of West London’s most desirable leafy enclaves. Spanning approximately 2,750 square feet of beautifully refined accommodation, the home has been tastefully refurbished throughout to harmonise its beautiful period charm with contemporary luxury. The remarkably high ceilings, voluminous rooms and seamless flow create a space perfectly suited for both tranquil family life and elegant entertaining. The ground floor features two beautifully appointed reception rooms, and a meticulously designed kitchen with gorgeous dining area with views out to the garden, as well as a separate utility room and purpose built home office, all bathed in natural light. Upstairs, the home offers five generously proportioned bedrooms, ensuring ample space for family, guests, or additional home office or hobby rooms. The principal bedroom features a dedicated en-suite, complemented by two additional family bathrooms and a convenient guest cloakroom on the ground floor. Beyond the striking façade and wonderful internal space lies a beautiful, sun-drenched garden. Walled for ultimate privacy and elegance, this secluded outdoor sanctuary serves as an idyllic backdrop for summer garden parties, lively family gatherings, or peaceful morning coffees. The property also benefits from a secure, gated driveway providing off-street parking, complete with EV charging point. Positioned on a peaceful, quiet road, Ingleby Lodge provides an oasis of calm while being just moments away from Pitshanger's award-winning boutiquey high street. Residents enjoy the unmatched convenience of independent shops, charming cafes, delectable restaurants and lush green spaces right on their doorstep. Furthermore, the home is ideally situated near a range of highly desirable schools, making it the perfect setting to raise a family.
