Castelnau, Barnes, London

This beautifully presented family home offers a superb balance of living and entertaining space, thoughtfully arranged to suit modern family life. Of particular note are the elegant proportions and period detailing throughout, including high ceilings, ornate architraves and striking marble fireplaces.

The house is set back from the road, benefitting from off-street parking and a garage, and opening into a welcoming entrance hall, which leads seamlessly through to the living and entertaining areas.

On the lower ground floor, at the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. The bespoke contemporary kitchen is fitted with granite worktops, a large central island, and a range of integrated appliances. A conservatory-style dining area, with glass doors opening onto the garden, floods the space with natural light and extends the entertaining space out to the garden beyond. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dedicated cinema room, ideal for family relaxation. This floor also includes a well-appointed utility room and an integrated garage.

To the front of the raised ground floor, a beautifully proportioned reception room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, retaining the home’s period charm with generous ceiling heights, a marble fireplace, and bespoke cabinetry. This level also comprises two generously sized double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a luxurious en suite bathroom.

Upstairs on the first floor is a generously proportioned principal bedroom suite featuring a beautifully appointed en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, all well-proportioned, along with a stylish family bathroom.

The landscaped walled garden extends to approximately 132 feet and provides a peaceful outdoor retreat. A raised decked terrace overlooks the garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and enhanced by an abundance of mature trees and well-stocked planted borders.
