3 bed maisonette for sale

Carlyle Road, Ealing, London W5

What the owner loves:

Letting go of something you love—something you’ve poured your time, energy, and heart into—is never easy. This maisonette flat has been just that for me: A labour of love and a true home. But it brings me so much joy to know that someone new will get to enjoy and cherish it as I have. Though technically a flat, it feels much more like a house, full of light and space. The natural brightness and airy feel have always made it a calming, uplifting place to be.

I bought this home in 2010 and have since renovated it completely, with care and respect for its original charm. I restored the original sash windows, preserved its period features, and even replaced the front door to match the character of the neighbouring homes—small details that make a big difference in preserving its history.

One of my proudest transformations was the garden. I turned it into a hidden retreat, a secret oasis where I could unwind after long days, recharge, and feel grounded. But more than just a personal sanctuary, it also became a space to connect—with the wonderful neighbours who quickly became like family. We built a strong, supportive community here, something truly rare and special in the heart of a busy city.

As I pass this home on, I do so with a full heart. I wish the new owners many years of happiness in this beautiful space. May it be filled with joy, love, and countless cherished memories—just as it has been for me.

Why we would buy it:

This apartment is a rare gem — one that truly feels like a house. Split-level and offering a remarkably generous footprint, it features three large bedrooms, a separate study, two reception rooms, a dedicated utility room, two bathrooms, and even a serene private garden. It’s a home that effortlessly balances practicality with personality.

The south-facing garden is a standout feature: Sun-drenched from morning through evening, it’s ideal for a quiet coffee at sunrise, a glass of wine at dusk, or summer BBQs with friends. It’s a space that invites you to relax, entertain, and feel at home.

Inside, you’ll find the perfect blend of contemporary design and classic charm. High-spec finishes sit beautifully alongside original period features and striking architecture — the best of both worlds in a beautifully balanced setting.

It’s a sensible choice, but one that still delivers all the excitement and lifestyle you’d hope for in your next home; share of freehold, period appeal, a lovely street in a desirable location, and the kind of layout and space rarely found in apartment living.
