Rocks Lane

This impressive 1st floor period apartment is set in a terrace where Edwardian grandeur mingles with modern conveniences.

As you make your way indoors, you are greeted with communal parts that luckily still display the original period tiled floor.

As you enter the apartment, the hallway leads to a trio of steps to the left where you emerge into the glorious light and spacious main bedroom, marvelling at the vast open view across the fields. The tall ceilings, square bay window and a good array of fitted wardrobes, provide you with the most splendid ‘Room with a View’.

The bathroom is also found at the front and has a bath and separate shower. Just outside the bathroom is a jolly useful large cupboard which houses the washing machine.

The second bedroom is a very generous double and could also make a perfect home office.

The highly efficient kitchen is situated in the centre of the flat and has a gas hob with extractor, electric oven and space for a large fridge/freezer. Two large openings connect the kitchen to the lounge and hallway, so you can still feel part of the action despite being tied to the sink.

At the rear of the property is the gorgeous living room, with its high ceilings, original fireplace with decorative tile inserts and to the right, useful fitted bookshelves with cupboard storage below. Being South West facing, this is such a bright and cheerful room, and with the added benefit of having your own sunny terrace off the lounge, you’ll find every box is ticked! 



Rocks Lane runs from Barnes Village towards Barnes Station, and is flanked by Barnes Common on one side and Barn Elms Sports Ground on the other. The flat is only 10 minutes from the Thames Path and the fabulous Wetlands Centre.

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.

For those ‘Foodies’ amongst us, every Saturday the Barnes Farmers Market offers award winning free range and organic products.

The Olympic Cinema in the village has a Dolby Atmos surround sound cinema, screening the latest releases with comfy, reclining seats where you can enjoy the movie with a bottle of wine, cup of coffee or a bag of popcorn.

Barnes village has a handful of small boutiques, as well as a local grocers, M&S Food Store, independent delis, a bookshop and some very fine restaurants.

Communications are excellent, with Barnes Station (Waterloo 20 mins) a short walk away, bus services to Richmond and Putney and easy access to the M3, M4 and M25.
