A unique private and secluded Grade II listed house, set within a wonderful walled garden which is approximately 0.8 acres.

Rare opportunity to own an iconic property in Barnes village. Formation Architects have drawn up potential plans for the further expansion of the house, creating over 4,000 sq ft of additional space. This proposal is subject to planning permission. The drawings are available on request.


This three storey Queen Anne house dates back to circa 1717 and has a wealth of period features with wonderful cornicing, elegant wall panelling and original fireplaces. The property is accessed via a gated entrance with a secure entry system.

The house was formerly known as Parsonage House and was the vicarage of St Mary's Church, until 1936 when it was separated from the church.

Ground Floor:
The house opens into an elegant entrance hall with the original galleried staircase creating a great sense of light and space. Off the hallway is a media room and an elegant drawing room, with an attractive period fireplace. The drawing room leads through to an open plan kitchen/dining room which is a superb multi-purpose living space. The shaker style kitchen features a range of bespoke fitted units and cupboards, stone worktops and integrated appliances.

A utility room is conveniently located off the kitchen.

First Floor:
Upstairs, on the first floor is a double reception room with a dual aspect, original fireplaces, attractive wood panelling and full height windows flooding the space with light. Across the landing is a generous guest suite with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are a further two double bedrooms, both with built in cupboards, and a family bathroom.

Second Floor:
The principal bedroom suite is located on the top floor and features a well designed dressing room, with elegant bespoke cabinetry, and an en suite bathroom with both a bathtub and a separate walk in shower. There are an additional three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC.

Garden:
The approximately 0.8 acre walled garden surrounds the house with a sweeping gravel driveway. There are two large lawns which extend to the garden walls and it is planted with an abundance of rhododendron bushes and wonderful herbaceous borders.

Within the garden is a richly gothic Old Abbey Garden which was originally a 1994 Chelsea Flower Show garden, designed by Julian and Isabel Bannerman. This serene garden was designed to create the fantasy of what a cathedral close garden would have been like. With a stone-mullioned window, which was reclaimed from a church, and a decorative parapet reclaimed from Salisbury Cathedral.

This 'secret garden' is planted with a wonderful selection of roses, herbaceous borders and shady trees to relax under. The focal point is an octagonal summerhouse in the corner which was built from West Country limestone to form a gothic folly.
