Castelnau, Barnes, London, SW13

Marsh and Parsons Barnes have just been instructed on this incredible mansion flat with breathtaking westerly views across St Paul's playing fields and towards the River Thames. The flat oozes period charm, character and has been passionately styled, refurbished, and decorated by the current owners to a high standard with plenty of grandeur and decadence.

The block is set back from the road with well-maintained front communual gardens. The flat is located on the second floor, and you enter into an impressive and spacious large entrance hallway with in-built cupboards and cabinetry.

Off the hallway, is the formal drawing room which has a Parisian feel and benefits from its period features which include feature fireplace. In behind, the formal reception room at the front, is what the owners currently use as formal dining room and snug by the wonderful balcony where they enjoy stunning sunsets (see stunning sunset photo taken by the owners on Monday 16th September 2024). However, this room usually transforms into a large bedroom and benefits from floor to ceiling fitted cupboards.

The principal bedroom has a Venetian feel, and currently houses a four-poster bed with built in cupboards and exceptional views looking down the gardens of Clavering Avenue and Riverview Gardens up towards Harrods Village.
Off the hallway, is one modern family bathroom and a further shower room which have been renovated by the existing owners, cleverly laid out to maximise space. Towards the back of the property, is a third single bedroom which the current owners use as snug study room. At the rear is a spacious open plan eat-in kitchen room with integrated appliances and lots of cupboards. It's a great space to cook in and relax with once again fantastic views back towards Harrods. Off the kitchen is a door which leads to a communal staircase down to the garden. On the half landing is storeroom which is shared between the two flats on that floor (although the current owners have the arrangement that they solely use this). It's worthwhile noting that most of the windows have been replaced with double-glazed sash windows at huge expense to the current owners and the flat has a warm feel.

There is circa 1200 square foot of space and most other apartments in the block have been arranged as three bedrooms, so you do have the potential and scope to reconfigure. In addition, off the kitchen is a door into a communual stairwell which takes you down to stunning communal gardens with seating, table tennis table, and BBQ area and secure bike storage space.

Castelnau Mansions is a highly sought after portered mansion block, located a minute away from Hammersmith Bridge and the property benefits from tube access to central London (Piccadilly, District, Hammersmith & City Lines), close to a fantastic selection of schools such as St Paul’s School (boys), Harrodian and The Swedish School with excellent transport links to London, and the scenic River Thames. The parade of shops in Castelnau is only a short walk away and includes local favourites Dahlia, Michael's Newsagent and Tesco, delis Spoonful, SipNBites, Quarter Cafe, restaurants Spice of Night, and the Chandelier. Local pub 'The Bridge' has an excellent beer garden. Barnes Village is within walking distance, with a wide range of restaurants, pubs and boutique shops.
