1 bed cottage to rent

Meadvale Road, Ealing W5

Welcome to Meadvale Road and this lovely characterful and quietly positioned studio rental, set moments from the heart of the ever popular Pitshanger Lane area. This is a home with personality rather than polish, ideal for someone looking for something a little different from the usual rental offering.

Is this a good place to live?

Very much so. Meadvale Road sits just off Pitshanger Lane, an area people actively choose for its village feel, independent shops, and strong local community. There is a real sense of neighbourhood here, with cafés, bakeries, pubs, and everyday essentials all within easy walking distance. Green space is also close by, with Pitshanger Park just moments away, making it easy to step outside for a walk, a run, or a quiet break from the day.

Who would this property suit?

This home is best suited to a Single occupant preferred or a couple who value character, calm surroundings, and a well designed space. There is limited ceiling height in the upstairs bedroom. It is not a large property, but it is thoughtfully arranged and full of charm, making it ideal for someone looking for a home that feels personal rather than purely practical.

How is the property laid out?

The property is arranged as a studio and is being marketed as such due to restricted head height in the sleeping area. There is a mezzanine level used as a sleeping space, which adds character and separation without feeling boxed in. The sloped ceilings give the property a tucked away, almost cottage like feel. Downstairs, the full size kitchen flows naturally into the living and dining area, creating a comfortable and sociable space for everyday living.

What is it like inside?

The interior feels calm, light, and welcoming. The owner has given the place a make over and has installed a new wooden floor. The property is furnished, allowing you to move straight in and settle quickly. The kitchen is a real highlight and feels like a space designed to be used and enjoyed, rather than just passed through. The bathroom features a generous walk in shower. Please note there is no bath.

Is there parking?

Parking is available on street, which is typical for this part of Ealing.
