5 Bedroom Detached House For Sale In London

Formerly known as Orchardway, this distinguished residence was originally conceived and occupied by W. S. Grice, the celebrated 20th-century British architect renowned for his Modernist and Art Deco influence. The house was featured in the May 1932 edition of Town and Country Homes, where its design was praised for its charm, airiness and practicality, with an emphasis on light, brightness and an inherent sense of cheerfulness.

In more recent years, the current owners have thoughtfully extended and enhanced the property, creating a superb family home now arranged over three well-proportioned floors. The ground floor is centred around an impressive 38-foot, full-width kitchen, dining and family room, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the two elegant bay windows and the desirable south-westerly aspect. The bespoke kitchen, complete with a central island and breakfast bar, flows seamlessly into a further, separate reception room, ideal for more formal entertaining or relaxed evenings.

Also on the ground floor, the entrance hall provides access to a cloakroom/WC, a versatile study or ground-floor bedroom, and a substantial workshop and storage area, formerly the garage, offering excellent flexibility for modern family living.

The upper floors provide generous and adaptable accommodation, comprising four double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite shower room, two further bathrooms, a fifth bedroom, and an additional study which could alternatively serve as a dressing room or nursery.

To the front, a sweeping carriage driveway offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by a secure side gate providing access to the rear garden. The south-westerly facing garden is a particular highlight, beautifully landscaped with patio and lawned areas, and directly accessible from the rear reception room—perfect for both entertaining and family enjoyment.

Set on the elevated and tree-lined Edgehill Road, one of Ealing’s most sought-after residential addresses, the property is ideally positioned for an exceptional selection of highly regarded schools. Pitshanger Lane, with its array of independent shops, cafés and amenities, lies just 0.4 miles away, while Ealing Broadway provides excellent transport links across London and beyond. Several open green spaces, including Cleveland, Scotch Common and Pitshanger Park, are close at hand, with Ealing Golf Club just beyond.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of architectural pedigree, seamlessly adapted for contemporary family life, in one of West London’s most prestigious locations.
