This wonderfully striking family house was
home for many years to the architect, George Smith who designed several
of the houses at the beginning of Grange Road. As this was his own
property he incorporated several rare character features including
beautiful mock Tudor stone fireplaces, wall panelling and exposed beams
in the dining room and hallway. There is substantial living space
arranged over three floors. First impressions are deceptive as the
property is wider at the back than at the front with a reception room
and kitchen both leading into the conservatory and on into the
delightful, mature garden. The house further benefits from three
generously proportioned bedrooms on the first floor and ample built-in
and eaves storage. The top floor is home to the fourth bedroom, large
enough for a double bed with its own bathroom, living space and balcony
looking out over the treetops.
Situation
Grange road is
ideally situated in the centre of Barnes Village close to the pond and
many coffee shops, boutiques and restaurants.There are also excellent
schools within close proximity including Barnes Primary School, St.
Osmund's, St. Paul's, Tower House, and Ibstock Place. The German School,
The Swedish School and Colet Court are also within easy reach.
With
its village-like feel, Barnes also offers convenient National Rail links
to Clapham Junction and Waterloo, while Hammersmith Broadway is a short
distance away offering London Underground services.
