5 bed terraced house for sale

Stanlake Road, London W12

This is one of those houses that immediately feels warm, established and full of character.

Set on Stanlake Road, W12, this is a wonderfully big-boned family home with approximately 2,511 sq ft of space, generous rooms across every floor and a really lovely mix of classic period charm and modern family living. It has that rare feeling of being both elegant and very easy to live in — grand in places, relaxed in others, and clearly a home that has been properly enjoyed.

The front of the house is full of period detail, with high ceilings, beautiful cornicing, fireplaces, panelled joinery and lovely proportions. The two reception spaces give the house a real sense of depth, with the front room feeling cosy and grown-up, while the second reception adds even more flexibility for family life, entertaining or quieter evenings.

To the rear, the house opens into a fantastic kitchen/dining space that feels bright, modern and incredibly practical. The large skylight, floor-to-ceiling glazing and direct views out to the garden bring in loads of natural light, while the kitchen itself has a clean contemporary finish, a large island, plenty of storage and a proper dining area. It is exactly the sort of space people want in a family home — open, sociable and connected to the garden without feeling cold or overly designed.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are genuinely generous. The first floor has three excellent rooms, including a beautiful principal bedroom with huge proportions, fitted wardrobes and access to a balcony. The upper floor adds two further bedrooms, including a brilliant top-floor room with its own en-suite.

The outside space is another real plus. The rear garden works brilliantly as an extension of the kitchen, with space to sit, eat, relax and entertain. There is also a large cellar/utility space, which is a huge bonus for storage, laundry, bikes, wine, kids’ kit and all the things a proper family house needs to hide away.
