The house faces only a few degrees off due south and its rear garden-facing and principal living areas are bathed from morning to early evening in bright and warm sunshine. It enjoys a spacious south facing kitchen/dining/family room which stretches across the full width of the house. The master bedroom on the first floor is of a similar width and aspect, as is one of the two large bedrooms on the second floor. They all overlook a terrace and garden of 80 feet in length, with open views continuing between the houses of Byfeld Gardens.
Many of the original features of this 1906-built house have been preserved. It is approached from the street over its tiled path with the original tessellated Edwardian design. Corniced ceilings, panelled doors, spacious halls and landings and original stripped-wood, hand-turned bannisters add to its character. Beautiful gas fireplaces remain in the ground floor living areas; rooms such as the formal reception retain their Edwardian elegance. And the house has kept pace with the years. Bathrooms have been updated over time and new high-quality double-glazed windows were fitted to all garden facing ground and first floor windows two years ago.
The first room as you enter the house off the ground floor hall is the elegant reception room with its feature gas fireplace. The hall continues to the large and sunny kitchen/dining/family room, also with a gas fireplace. And between the reception room and family room sit a WC for guests and a study/utility room which gives direct access to the wide passage on the east side of the house connecting the front and rear garden.
On the first floor is the large master bedroom, with fitted wardrobes the length of one entire wall. An en-suite bathroom is off the bedroom. A double guest bedroom is accessed from the wide first floor hall, as well as a further double bedroom, both with generous fitted wardrobes. These two bedrooms are served by a tiled bathroom fitted with a bath and a large separate shower.
On the second floor are two large double bedrooms which share a Jack and Jill bathroom.
The cellar of the house has not been excavated from its original form. It retains a full height area of 130 sq ft used as a utility and containing storage and a workbench. Around this area is an easily accessible crawl space just over a metre high which the owners have carpeted to provide a massive 500 sq feet of dry and clean space for wine, filing and general storage.
The property has significant opportunity to extend, subject to planning permission (stpp). There are many recent extensions on the road, the most popular and obvious extension would be the development of the kitchen/dining/family room into the garden area on the ground floor.
Westmoreland Road is conveniently located to the amenities of Barnes Village. It is minutes walk away from wide range of shops, independent restaurants, eateries, and pubs. The famous Barnes duck pond, the green and the river Thames are also close by. Barnes station and Barnes Bridge station offer a frequent service into Waterloo. There are also good bus services to Putney, Richmond, and Hammersmith all of which offer underground connections. Heathrow and Gatwick airports are also easily accessible. The schools in the area include St Paul‘s School, The Harrodian, The Swedish School and Ibstock Place School. For younger pupils St Pauls Juniors, St Osmunds‘ (RC) and Barnes Primary School.
