To be sold by informal tender with best bids by midday Wednesday 15th October. Set across five floors, this semi-detached house on Lonsdale Road combines grand proportions with original period detail, offering the perfect opportunity for a buyer to create a truly bespoke family home. Behind its handsome façade lie soaring ceilings, sash windows, original fireplaces and intricate cornicing, the hallmarks of a house with exceptional bones.

The layout unfolds with ease. On the lower ground floor, a kitchen and reception space flows through to a dining area, opening directly onto the garden. The raised ground floor is home to a beautiful double reception room, dual aspect, with a bay window at the front and expansive panes of glass at the rear framing views of the garden. A bathroom completes this level.

The first floor holds two bedrooms, one with an ensuite, alongside a utility area with kitchenette and a smaller room opening to a balcony overlooking the garden. Above, the second floor provides three further bedrooms and a shower room, while the top floor is arranged with two additional bedrooms and useful eaves storage.

A private driveway with parking for at least four cars is a rare addition in this part of Barnes, whilst the garden is larger than some of the adjoining houses. Though in need of renovation, the house presents an exceptional canvas for a new owner to put their own stamp on it.

Lonsdale Road is one of Barnes’ most desirable addresses, perfectly balancing village life with city convenience. The local parade offers independent shops and restaurants, while nearby Barnes Village is home to the duck pond, a weekly farmers’ market, and an array of boutiques, cafés and favourites such as the Olympic Cinema & Restaurant and Rick Stein’s riverside outpost.


Families are drawn to the area for its excellent schools, including St Paul’s, The Harrodian and The Swedish School, as well as outstanding local primaries. Transport links are superb, with Hammersmith Station nearby and Barnes and Barnes Bridge providing regular services into London Waterloo and beyond.
