The front bay window is adorned with bespoke plantation shutters which allows for privacy and light from the large windows to flood through the room.  The two distinct areas allow for flexible living choices, the front reception area is a cosy space for the family to gather, and the rear section makes an ideal dining area. A serene neutral colour scheme has been utilised throughout, complementing the many period features that have been carefully preserved. This room, which lies to the right of the front door, is exceptionally bright owing to the open-plan, dual-aspect layout. Back in the hallway, there's a very useful guest cloakroom and an understairs storage cupboard which can swallow a plethora of items.

This wonderful space has a row of three velux windows which allow natural light to flow into the room and a double door set opens onto the south-facing garden, which creates a wonderful sense of extension from the interior. A fabulous feature of this room is the wine cellar pod, a circular wine cellar which holds over 200 bottles in its bright chrome wine racks. The buried wine cellar takes on ground temperature, and so there are no running costs, and the wine is easily accessible, but also lockable. The second floor is the exclusive domain of the master suite. The bedroom lies at the rear of the house and has creatively designed fitted wardrobes and plenty of under eave storage. The en-suite bathroom has a large walk-in shower with tiled floor, heated towel rail and recessed mirrored cabinet above the toilet as well as a vanity unit below the sink.

The double sink has storage below and the floor is warm underfoot with underfloor heating as well as a heated towel rail. There is also a very useful airing cupboard which houses the combi-boiler. The cleverly designed south-facing garden manages to please the children as much as it does the adults. Currently equipped with a brilliant built-in trampoline set within easigrass for low-maintenance, this also doubles as an excellent storage area below. If bouncing is not your thing, this area comes with the option of transforming into a decked patio area perfect for adult entertaining. The sandpit area by day, can also be quickly obscured by night so the garden is incredibly versatile and suits a whole manner of different audiences. The garden office is an excellent addition to this property and makes a very comfortable space for working from home or even a gym or hobby room. Alongside this area is a large and super secure bike store which can be accessed from the garden as well as at the rear in Glentham Road so muddy wheels don't have to come through the house. Fabulous. The garden faces predominently south, so receives fantastic light throughout the day. It is home to raised beds with mature plants, climbing roses and smart paving which provides ample space for a seating area. The Area 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, delis, independent retail shops, great pubs and the much-loved Olympic Cinema. It's also a hub of public transport; another factor in this extraordinary city fringe destination, along with exceptional public spaces (such as Barnes Common and Richmond Park), the Saturday Farmers markets and events at the OSO by the pond, keep you occupied and fulfilled at weekends. Lillian Road is a very popular residential cul-de-sac that is situated north of Barnes Village, and is immensely popular with families. Its position as a cul-de-sac offers a safe, secure environment, providing peace of mind and privacy. Unlike many areas of Barnes, it is also positioned away from the direct flight paths, ensuring a quieter, more peaceful living environment, while still being just a short distance from the amenities of the village and Hammersmith 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. Over 95% of the shops are independent, and it is renowned for its schools, which include St Pauls, The Harrodian, Ibstock, The Swedish School and Lowther School. Communications are excellent, a stroll over Hammersmith Bridge brings you to the tubes (District, Piccadilly, Hammersmith & City Lines), this makes it an ideal location for anyone needing access to central London.
