Castelnau

The property is approached through two whitewashed, vermiculated gate piers which leads you through to the carriage driveway where you have unallocated off-street parking.

Steps lead up to what would have been the original front door to the house, and in the communal hall you find the main entrance door to this property.

Whilst the whole property needs full refurbishment, the accommodation measures just over 1100 sq ft and allows for the ability to re-design the layout (subject to necessary planning consents).

One of the most striking features of this utterly fabulous apartment, are that the two principal rooms have incredibly high ceilings, both adorned with the most magnificent covings. These generous ceiling heights create an airy voluminous feel and a flood of natural light from dawn to dusk.

The property currently comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom with separate w.c., large living room with a kitchen and further reception running along the rear of the apartment. There is an internal staircase that runs down to the communal alley that leads from the front to the rear of the house and allows access from the drive to the garden.

 

The jewel in this property’s crown, has to be the incredible tended outside space.

The private east facing garden extends to around 80 ft and is accessed via an external staircase leading directly from the apartment. Swathes of lawn meander towards the rear of the plot and are bounded by beautiful borders, fully stocked with a diverse array of mature plants, both evergreen and perennial that give the garden colour and interest throughout all four seasons. This stunning outside space would not look out of place as an RHS garden.  The very rear of the garden catches the golden evening light and is the perfect place for lazy suppers and sun-drenched sundowners.

Backing on to the London Wetlands Centre means you are not overlooked, but you may see the odd curious cow wander past the embankment which may not be what you expect in SW13.



You’d be hard pressed to find another community like Barnes. It’s fun, vibrant and a mix of thoroughly interesting and creative types who love their neighbourhood, reflected in the colourful list of coffee shops, restaurants, boutique cinema and over 95% of the shops are independent.

Barnes is the ultimate village within a city, and life-long residents become misty-eyed about their childhood spent feeding the ducks on the pond, and sneaking into the Olympic Studios Cinema for a romantic teenage tryst. There are wonderful pubs along the river, and the annual Boat Race is a huge deal. 

Communications are excellent, with Barnes and Barnes Bridge Stations (Waterloo 20 mins) within walking distance and a walk across Hammersmith Bridge to pick up the Underground network.
