5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Cleveland Road, Barnes SW13

Description

Occupying an enviable position on one of Barnes Village's most sought-after roads, just moments from Barnes Green, Barnes Pond and Church Road. This elegant 5 bedroom original Victorian semi-detached residence represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of the area's most substantial family homes. Having remained in the same ownership for many years, the property is now offered to the market with no onward chain and provides well over 3,000 sq ft of beautifully proportioned living space arranged across four floors.

Approached via an impressive elevated entrance with its handsome portico, the house immediately conveys a wonderful sense of scale, elegance and period charm. Internally, it retains many of the architectural features synonymous with the Victorian era, including impressive ceiling heights, beautiful original sash windows, ornate cornicing, attractive fireplaces and a magnificent central staircase that rises through the house, creating an elegant focal point.

One of the property's most exceptional features lies beyond the rear garden. Accessed directly from Limes Avenue, the house benefits from a remarkably rare double-width private garage with electric doors.
Garaging of this scale is seldom found within the heart of Barnes Village and offers enormous practicality, whether for secure parking, extensive storage or a variety of complementary uses.

Whilst the property would now benefit from comprehensive modernisation, it offers an outstanding opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create a truly exceptional long-term family home. The existing living space is both extensive and highly versatile, with generous reception rooms, numerous bedrooms and a variety of ancillary rooms providing enormous flexibility.

Over the years, sections of the house have been arranged for independent occupation, resulting in several additional bathrooms and kitchenette areas. These offer exciting scope to be thoughtfully reconfigured, restoring the property to a magnificent single-family home, much like neighbouring houses, whilst also presenting significant potential to remodel, extend and enhance the property further, subject to the usual planning consents.
