2 bed flat for sale

Gordon Road, Ealing, London W5

What the owner loves:

We absolutely love how unique this flat is. With its high ceilings, it feels spacious, and yet still super cosy. Its configuration offers so many opportunities to create a one of a kind, beautiful home. As well as two generously sized bedrooms, this flat also boasts a large, open-plan kitchen/living space which is full of character. The skylight and full-height windows allow plenty of natural light into the space, the black iron staircase gives a modern, yet rustic vibe, and the vegetal wall on the terrace often makes us forget we live in a city.

The area has so many local coffee shops, small businesses and parks, which makes Ealing a lovely location to live in. Central London is also 20 minutes away - we love how we are able to go to the city so quickly, whenever we like. There’s also a great community spirit within the building; most of the other residents have been living there since the beginning. They also own their flats, and are really lovely.

Why we'd buy this home:

You don’t buy this home because it makes sense on paper - you buy it because it makes your jaw drop the moment you walk in, and you’ll spend the next week trying to explain to friends why nothing else you’ve seen comes close. High ceilings aren’t just a feature, they’re a feeling - the kind of period highlight that makes even the most ordinary Tuesday morning feel a little more grand. It’s architecture that lifts not just the roof, but your spirits too.

Its uniqueness gives you the thrill, but its exceptional spec and location - minutes from Ealing Broadway - give you the reassurance that the wow factor is also wonderfully, enduringly practical.

One of the joys of this home is how thoughtfully each room has been designed for both comfort and practicality. The principal bedroom is a perfect example - soft carpet underfoot, underfloor heating you can control with a fancy app, and a peaceful sense of light and privacy that makes it feel like a true retreat.

There’s plenty of storage too, from the custom Sharps wardrobe to additional space for drawers and shelves. The second bedroom (or office for the wfh brigade ) has soaring ceilings and three beautiful sash windows with bespoke shutters, flooding the space with natural light. It easily fits a king-sized bed if needed, but works just as well as an inspiring workspace.

Everyday living feels elevated here. The open-plan living room and kitchen is New-York-City-loft-apartment levels of stylish...with a striking iron staircase, and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. The kitchen itself is beautifully finished with thick countertops, breakfast bar, pantry, and built-in appliances - even a wine cooler. Double doors open to a private terrace, perfect for pets or alfresco dining, with hardwood decking, outdoor power and a tap for easy upkeep.

For additional security, there is a high-end Banham door and alarm system, while the building community is friendly, welcoming and largely owner-occupied.
