White Hart Lane, London

Upon entering the property one is immediately struck by a combination of high ceilings and intelligently thought through contemporary features in abundance. From the hallway one enters into a large double bedroom complete with fully fitted wardrobes, engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating, air-conditioning throughout the main rooms of the property (including the bedrooms), and a grand bay fronted window delightfully set off by plantation shutters and appropriate soft furnishings.

This whole area has been immaculately finished to a high spec with tiles from fired earth. The bathroom also benefits from a 'Jack and Jill' entrance allowing for accessibility from both the bedroom and where necessary the hallway.
Further down the hallway there is noticeable storage space in a cupboard under the stairs before one enters the large principal bedroom. This is a space that has ample room for a king size bed and triple fitted decor wood, wardrobes, air conditioning, plus a second en-suite bathroom. The bathroom incorporates a large walk-in shower, WC, and wash basin as well as further tiling by Fired Earth.

A sense of space and brightness is evident as one is drawn to the view of the handsome, landscaped garden through the bi-fold doors.

With its overhead light well, and modern bifolding doors, the outside is brought into this space because of the immaculately maintained, west facing, landscaped garden one is drawn to.

Furthermore, there is a separate storage facility handy for those with bikes and garden tools as well as a gate for rear access.

The location
Barnes, SW13 White Hart Lane is a highly desired area in Barnes which offers up boutique shops and an array of cafés and fine restaurants. East Sheen primary School and Barnes common are both just a stones throw away. Barnes is one of London's most quietly special villages, a riverside enclave wrapped on three sides by a long meander of the Thames, with the unusual quality of being a place you arrive at rather than pass through. That sense of being tucked away gives Barnes a community feel that is genuinely rare in the capital, and a way of life that residents protect fiercely.
The heart of the village gathers around Barnes Green and its pond, fringed by independent shops, characterful pubs and a wonderful range of restaurants and cafés. The Sun Inn looks directly onto the Green, the historic White Hart sits beside the river, and the Red Lion remains a much loved local, while Riva on Church Road, in it fourth decade, is widely regarded as one of London's finest Italian restaurants and a favourite of food writers and chefs alike. Olympic Studios, once the recording home of the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and countless others, has been beautifully restored as an independent cinema and private members' club, anchoring the High Street with real cultural pull. The calendar is rich and entirely its own: the celebrated Saturday farmers' market on Barnes Green, the annual Barnes Fair in summer, and the much loved Barnes Literature Festival, which draws nationally known writers each year. Beyond the village, Barnes opens onto extraordinary green space. The Thames towpath is a much used artery for runners and cyclists, with the gates of Richmond Park just a short ride away and many residents heading further afield at the weekend. The open expanses of Barnes Common and Barn Elms sit on the doorstep, as does the world class WWT London Wetland Centre on the old reservoir site, giving residents a genuine connection to nature that almost no other corner of London can offer. Sport is woven into village life. Barn Elms sits on 52 acres of playing fields, home to Barnes RFC, Barnes FC and the London Athletic Club, with rugby and football pitches, an athletics track, tennis courts and a community gym. The neighbouring Rocks Lane Multi Sports Centre is a hub for tennis, padel, netball and five a side football, its Friday Night 5s a weekly fixture for local families. Barnes Sports Club adds cricket, hockey, tennis and squash to the mix.
Few London neighbourhoods are so well served for active living.
Education is a defining strength. Barnes is home to St Paul's School on its 45 acre site beside the river and The Harrodian, with Ibstock Place a short journey away in Roehampton, alongside excellent state primaries including Barnes Primary School, making it consistently sought after by families. With Barnes and Barnes Bridge stations both providing direct services into Waterloo, it is a village that combines true neighbourhood living with the capital genuinely on its doorstep.
