luxury houses with panoramic view for sale Harrow, United Kingdom
House with garden Harrow (United Kingdom)
Occupying an elevated position on one of Harrow-on-the-Hill’s most prestigious private roads, The Oaks & The Sheiling is a substantial late Victorian residence dating back to 1884, originally designed by the renowned architect Robert “Bungalow” Briggs. Set within a peaceful, no-through road and surrounded by similarly distinguished homes, the property offers a rare combination of historical significance, generous proportions and exceptional future potential. The property is believed to have once been home to Sir Frank Whittle, the pioneering inventor of the jet engine, during the 20th century. Held within the same family for over 50 years, the home has been carefully maintained and adapted during their ownership, with improvements undertaken several decades ago to suit family life at the time. Today, the property would benefit from modernisation, presenting a compelling opportunity for an incoming purchaser to either sensitively restore and enhance the original Victorian character or consider a more comprehensive redevelopment, subject to the necessary permissions. Notably, the property is not listed, offering greater flexibility for those looking to reconfigure or rebuild entirely. The accommodation is currently arranged as two substantial, self-contained residences—The Oaks, the principal house and The Sheiling, originally created as servant quarters—providing inherent versatility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential re-integration into a single, impressive dwelling. Architecturally, both elements remain highly attractive, with The Oaks distinguished by its stonework and The Sheiling recognised by its gables and tile-hung elevations, each enjoying excellent privacy and far-reaching views. Internally, a wealth of original features remain in place, including oak panelling, fireplaces, leaded light windows and traditional bay elevations, all offering a strong foundation for restoration. The existing layout reflects the needs of a previous era, with later alterations—such as the opening up of the kitchen space to create a larger family area—now offering scope for further enhancement in line with modern expectations. The grounds are a particular highlight, with mature gardens surrounding the home and a charming private orchard situated to the rear, which is included within the sale. Offering a rare sense of space and tranquillity, the orchard provides a wonderful extension of the garden and an opportunity to create a secluded outdoor retreat, productive kitchen garden or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The property also benefits from a substantial garage and generous off-street parking. The location is particularly attractive for families, with the world-renowned Harrow School just moments away, alongside a wide selection of highly regarded local schools. St Dominic's Sixth Form College is also within easy walking distance. Excellent transport links are provided by both Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan Line) and South Harrow (Piccadilly Line) stations, offering convenient access into Central London. Opportunities of this nature are increasingly rare—offering scale, character and, crucially, the flexibility to create a truly bespoke home in one of the area’s most sought-after locations. Whether restoring its original charm or pursuing a more contemporary vision, The Oaks & The Sheiling represents a unique chance to unlock significant long-term value.

House with garden and terrace London (United Kingdom)
Positioned on one of Ealing’s most sought-after residential roads. Rich in character and period detail, the property retains the generous proportions and architectural elegance synonymous with homes of this era, including high ceilings, original coving, marble fireplaces and attractive stained glass windows. Set behind a handsome walled frontage, the house enjoys an impressive sense of arrival, approached through electrically operated gates and a separate pedestrian entrance. A generous driveway provides ample off-street parking for several vehicles, while carefully positioned security and decorative lighting enhance both practicality and evening ambience. The substantial paved frontage has been thoughtfully landscaped with mature shrubs, flowering borders and a magnificent mature magnolia tree, creating an attractive and private setting. The characterful entrance, with its original encaustic tiled flooring continuing through the porch and hallway, provides an immediate introduction to the period elegance found throughout the house. The current owners have thoughtfully extended and enhanced the property over the years, creating exceptionally versatile accommodation arranged over several floors and combining its original architectural character with the requirements of modern family life. The lower ground floor provides a flexible multi-purpose room, currently arranged as a study, which could equally lend itself to use as a playroom, gym, home office or hobby room. The expansive ground floor is particularly impressive, with a generous entrance hall leading to two elegant reception rooms, both enjoying a pleasant outlook towards the front of the property, one currently arranged as a formal dining room. The principal family room is a remarkable space, extending to more than 28ft in length and providing superb accommodation for both everyday family life and entertaining. Thoughtfully arranged into defined seating and dining areas, the room enjoys a wonderful connection with the garden through bi-folding doors and is exceptionally well equipped, with underfloor heating, integral blinds, remote-controlled Velux windows with electric blinds and synchronised lighting. The result is a light, comfortable and highly adaptable space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. The kitchen has been designed to combine traditional styling with modern practicality and centres around a substantial island and breakfast bar, complemented by quartz work surfaces, integrated appliances and an impressive Aga oven. The ground floor is further served by a conveniently positioned cloakroom. The beautifully maintained south-facing garden is a particular highlight of the property and is unusually well connected to the principal living spaces, with access from the family room, hallway, kitchen and side passage. A generous paved terrace provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, while beyond lies a manicured lawn framed by mature planting, creating an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion. A further highlight is the impressive bespoke outbuilding, extending to approximately 24'5 x 14'2 and finished to an exceptional standard. Designed as a highly versatile extension of the main house, it features five sets of bi-folding doors, a kitchenette, bathroom and separate utility room, together with underfloor heating, air conditioning, Wi-Fi connectivity and its own independent boiler. Equally suited to use as a self-contained annexe, guest suite, home office, studio, gym or substantial garden room, it provides an exceptional additional space with the flexibility to adapt to a variety of needs. Further useful storage is discreetly positioned to the rear of the building. The first floor provides four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with a luxurious four-piece en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom and separate cloakroom. Continuing upwards, the half landing leads to a dedicated laundry and utility room. This is an exceptionally versatile space, enhanced by impressive ceiling heights and three remote-controlled Velux windows, and could readily be adapted to provide an additional bedroom or other ancillary accommodation, should the need arise. The top floor is perhaps one of the most distinctive aspects of the house, having been thoughtfully designed to operate almost as a self-contained apartment. The accommodation comprises a 19ft open-plan reception room with fitted kitchen, a double bedroom, dressing room and en suite bathroom. This arrangement is ideally suited to guests, an au pair, multigenerational living or independent family members, while also offering considerable flexibility for those seeking a private additional living space within the home. Large bi-folding doors, together with a matching floor-to-ceiling picture window opening onto a Juliet balcony, flood the top floor with natural light and take full advantage of the far-reaching views across Central and Western Ealing. Extensive eaves storage further enhances the practicality of this level. Ealing is renowned for its excellent transport connections, with the Elizabeth, Central, District and Piccadilly lines providing swift access to Central London and Heathrow. The area is particularly well served by green open spaces, including Walpole Park, Ealing Common and Gunnersbury Park, while a strong selection of highly regarded schools further enhances its appeal to families.

Discreet rooflights hint at the beautifully executed loft conversion, while the rear elevation reveals a striking contemporary extension that contrasts confidently yet sympathetically with the original architecture. A welcoming Victorian entrance hall sets the tone for the home, where original proportions and period character sit comfortably alongside thoughtful contemporary updates. The original staircase rises to the second floor, with a bespoke continuation to the loft designed to match seamlessly. Soft carpeting extends to the second-floor landing before transitioning to painted stairs leading to the loft, while two rooflights above the upper hall flood the space with natural light. Spanning the full depth of the original house, the impressive double reception room perfectly balances Victorian elegance with contemporary living. High ceilings, a deep front bay window, engineered oak flooring and original fireplaces create a wonderfully calm atmosphere, while a remote-controlled gas fire provides everyday comfort. Ornate cast-iron radiators, ceiling roses and retained period detailing celebrate the home's heritage, and the generous proportions comfortably accommodate multiple seating areas for relaxing or entertaining. A wide opening naturally draws the eye through to the rear extension, where the architecture shifts effortlessly from period elegance to modern open-plan living. The spectacular rear extension forms the true heart of the home, where the kitchen, dining and living areas flow effortlessly together beneath oversized rooflights and full-width aluminium sliding doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out. Flooded with natural light throughout the day, it is a space designed equally for relaxed family living and entertaining. At its centre sits a substantial quartz island, framed by sleek handleless slate-grey cabinetry and complemented by a full suite of integrated appliances including Bosch ovens, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, a Bora induction hob with integrated extraction, Caple wine fridge, Quooker boiling-water tap and a Bianco stainless-steel sink. A beautifully crafted pantry cupboard with a solid timber interior provides excellent additional storage while keeping the clean, contemporary aesthetic intact. Large-format Mandarin Stone porcelain flooring runs throughout the extension and continues seamlessly onto the terrace beyond, creating a strong visual connection with the beautifully landscaped garden. Beneath the house, a useful cellar provides excellent storage together with a traditional Belfast sink and plumbing for laundry appliances, creating a practical utility space that keeps everyday household tasks separate from the main living accommodation. The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, all arranged to the right of the original staircase, creating a practical and well-balanced family layout. The rear bedroom features engineered hardwood flooring and a contemporary plain radiator, while the generous front bedroom retains painted original floorboards, bespoke fitted cupboards lined in William Morris wallpaper and ornate cast-iron radiators. The third bedroom also features painted floorboards, complemented by a contemporary steel column radiator. This floor is complemented by a stylish family shower room, fitted with Porcelanosa shower fittings, Lusso sanitaryware, Mandarin Stone tiled flooring, electric underfloor heating and a Lusso heated towel rail, offering a high-quality finish with everyday practicality. Continuing through the upper levels, a versatile studio provides valuable flexibility as a creative workspace, home office or occasional guest accommodation. Finished with carpeting and a plain radiator, it sits alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom centred around a striking Witt & Berg freestanding copper bath with Lusso nickel taps, a Crosswater vanity unit and WC, Mandarin Stone slate flooring, electric underfloor heating and a Lusso heated towel rail. Completed in 2022, the loft conversion culminates in a superb top-floor bedroom suite where exposed London stock brickwork, engineered timber flooring, ornate cast-iron radiators, a Juliet balcony and far-reaching views across London's skyline create a wonderfully calm retreat. Bespoke blackout blinds to the rear glazing and Velux rooflights with fitted blinds to the front provide excellent light control, while the accompanying en-suite is finished with Lusso sanitaryware, Mandarin Stone tiled flooring and electric underfloor heating. The southerly-facing rear garden has been professionally landscaped as a sequence of outdoor living spaces that function as a natural extension of the house. Large-format porcelain paving continues directly from the kitchen before giving way to hardwood decking, creating distinct areas for dining, entertaining and relaxation. Deep planted borders filled predominantly with evergreen planting provide year-round structure, colour and privacy, while matching Jacksons fencing frames the garden with a cohesive architectural finish. Mature planting softens the landscape and reinforces the feeling of seclusion, creating an unusually private outdoor environment for such a central London location. Seller's Thoughts: What we've loved most is the incredible light that moves through the house and the effortless flow of the ground floor, which has been perfect for both family life and entertaining. The loft enjoys panoramic views stretching from The Shard across London's skyline to the Surrey Hills, taking in landmarks including the BT Tower, the London Eye and Crystal Palace. On New Year's Eve you can even watch the London fireworks from bed. The south-facing garden has always felt like another room of the house, wonderfully private for London, filled with sunshine from early morning, and a space that has evolved with our family over the years.
