A superb family house in the heart of Barnes village.

Description

This wonderful family home, situated in the heart of Barnes village, has been thoughtfully extended and renovated to create beautifully balanced living and entertaining spaces, perfectly suited to modern family life. The contemporary interiors have been carefully designed to enhance and complement the property’s original period character, creating a home that combines timeless charm with a modern sense of space and light.

Set back from the road behind a front garden, the house opens into a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to the generous living and entertaining spaces beyond. At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. Flooded with natural light, this versatile space seamlessly combines a bespoke kitchen with a generous dining area, creating a warm and inviting setting for both relaxed gatherings and larger occasions. Skylights and expansive sliding glass doors flood the space with an abundance of natural light. The bespoke kitchen features a range of cabinetry, a central island and integrated appliances. A well-appointed utility room and guest cloakroom are conveniently positioned alongside the kitchen.

To the front of the house, an elegant bay fronted reception room provides a warm and inviting retreat, with a feature fireplace, built in cupboards at the rear of the space along with bespoke shelving and cabinetry.

Arranged across the first and second floors are three generously proportioned bedrooms. The first floor comprises the principal bedroom, which benefits from fitted wardrobes and a separate walk-in wardrobe. There is also a second bedroom and a beautifully appointed contemporary family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bathtub and separate walk-in shower. The second floor accommodates a further guest bedroom suite, with an en suite shower room and accessible eaves storage.

The attractive west-facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. Timber fencing provides an appealing backdrop to the mature shrubs and established planting, enhancing the feeling of seclusion. The attractive paving is framed by decked terraces at both ends of the garden providing areas for outdoor seating and dining - with the rear terrace leading to a garden studio, which is a wonderful versatile space and could be used as a home office, gym or creative studio.
