65, Castelnau, London, SW13 9RT

A grand Victorian canvas on one of London’s most coveted roads.

The Home A wonderful detached Victorian home, offering over 5,500 sq ft of accommodation and a rare chance to extend and remodel to your own vision, subject to the usual consents.

This is not a “move in and forget it” house; it’s a “move in and make it yours” house.

With 5,538 sq ft of space to work with, there is serious scope to reconfigure rooms, add light, update finishes and, if you wish, expand further, creating a bespoke family home on a scale few properties in SW13 can match.

Outside, the 116 ft west-facing garden is a major draw: Long, sunny and ideal for everything from play areas and kitchen gardens to al fresco dining and lazy summer evenings.

A carriage driveway adds valuable off-street parking and proper curb appeal on this prestigious road.

The Lifestyle Castelnau is Barnes at its most desirable: Grand houses, wide pavements and a real sense of space, yet only moments from village life.

Step outside and you’re within easy reach of Barnes Village’s eclectic mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, plus the duck pond, Barnes Green and the annual farmers’ market, summer fairs and food festivals that give the area its community feel.

For downtime, the Thames Path and Barnes Wetland Centre are right nearby; for city life, central London is a short journey away.

Commuting is straightforward: Hammersmith Bridge brings the Underground within close reach, while Barnes Bridge and Barnes stations offer frequent services into Waterloo.

Heathrow and Gatwick are also easily accessible for longer trips.

Families are well catered for, with excellent schools including St Paul’s School, St Paul’s Juniors, The Harrodian, The Swedish School, Ibstock Place, St Osmund’s (rc) and Barnes Primary School all in the vicinity.

The Opportunity Houses of this size and stature on Castelnau do not come to market often, and those that do rarely offer this level of potential in one package.

Castelnau is a standout opportunity for anyone looking to create a landmark family home: Buy a wonderful detached Victorian property, invest in a thoughtful extension and remodelling programme (subject to consents), and end up with something truly individual on one of South West London’s most prestigious roads.

If you’ve been waiting for a project where the location, plot and proportions are already perfect, this is it.
