this confident, design-led victorian semi-detached house on twyford avenue has been thoughtfully reworked to create a generous, six-bedroom family home with excellent proportions. extending to approximately 3,400 sq ft, the house balances its period features with a contemporary finish, while a west-facing garden and off-street parking complete the picture.
on the ground floor, a deep, bay-fronted reception room sits at the front of the house, where high ceilings, restored timber flooring and a wood-burning fireplace establish a more formal tone. beyond it, a secondary reception room has been arranged as a relaxed tv space with bespoke cabinetry.
the house opens up dramatically to the rear. shallow steps leads down into a vast kitchen and dining space that spans almost the full width of the house. here, the scale becomes the defining feature: a long run of cabinetry, a central island and integrated appliances are set against a backdrop of glazing that draws the garden into view. there is ample room for both dining and informal seating, and underfloor heating runs throughout, reinforcing the sense that this is the true centre of the house. practical details have been carefully considered, with extensive storage tucked beneath the stairs, alongside a utility area with space for laundry appliances, and a separate guest wc.
upstairs, the first floor is arranged with a clarity that will appeal to families. the principal bedroom is at the front, occupying the full width of the bay, with built-in wardrobes and a well-finished ensuite featuring twin basins and a walk-in shower. three further bedrooms are set along the landing, served by a family bathroom with a freestanding bath and underfloor heating; there is a useful storage cupboard on this floor.
the top floor is given over to two additional bedrooms and a shower room, with eaves storage neatly integrated into the plan. the proportions here are surprisingly generous, making these rooms equally suited to guest accommodation, older children or workspace.
outside, the west-facing garden has been designed for ease and flexibility, combining decking, paving and low-maintenance lawn. to the rear, a covered seating area creates a natural setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, extending the usability of the space well into the evening. at the front, a driveway provides off-street parking for two cars.
twyford avenue is one of acton’s most established residential streets, known for its handsome victorian architecture and proximity to some of west london’s strongest schools. the cafés and independent shops of churchfield road are within easy reach, while connections into central london are swift via nearby stations.
