I grew up in the gardeners/cleaners cottage for this place, and used to play there with the previous owners kids.
Ok, needs a bit of updating, but believe me, it’s amazing and the views are phenomenal (it’s well over 10m above the river by the way, and has never flooded obviously).

One of the very few places in London I'd even consider living (having grown up there!):

Punchy, but cracking place in an area with a real 'village' vibe, with the added bonus iirc of having Kate Beckinsale as a near neighbour...
Barnes is lovely, though can be a bit of a pain getting to the city. Place needs a good amount of work though, new kitchen, bathrooms and decorating which seems tough when you're already 7.25M (excluding taxes) before you've even started making it look that kind of price. Just shows how wild SW london postcode prices are. https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbbsrsb...

It is mental. It could be lovely but to update and actually make the kitchen and bathrooms up to £7m standard, you'd need to remodel internally. Can't imagine anyone spending £7.25m and then wanting to put just another more whizzy kitchen in that space. Instead you'll want a big open plan thing, and doing that will be £££. Bathrooms you could get away with not changing the layout. You'd be easy £500k to £750k of spend. But since you've just dropped more than that on stamp duty buying it, maybe the new owners wouldn't care. b14 said:

That! Plus I always remember James may saying "people in Barnes think they are in London, but they aren't as they don't have a Tube station"

And there's also the terrible terrible possibility of bumping into, not Kate Beckinsale, but the flotsam that is Gary Lineker!
Oh, and you're probably under the approach to 27L, and they aren't at 10k feet there!

Anyhow, also in Barnes is
https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbbsrsb...
Offers OVER £11m
Lot to like there.
But that's a main road however you wish it wasn't.
I always wonder how much the wetlands stinks or attracts flies
Roller garage doors like that should be OUTLAWAED on grounds of decency!
Down the same road in Petersham are these 2
https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbrirsr...
£7.95M
Or the more curious, but still interesting
https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbrirsr...
£10M
This is actually directly behind the 2nd place above

By coincidence I was only at that house on Tuesday, sweeping the chimney. It is a lovely house. The elderly owners are downsizing.Ok, needs a bit of updating, but believe me, it’s amazing and the views are phenomenal (it’s well over 10m above the river by the way, and has never flooded obviously).

Has this one cropped up before? Has real promise, but occasionally roars off at full throttle toward the 'other' thread...

One for the 'cars worth more than the house'... thread possibly...

At least, it's the right area iirc, and looks familiar from the podcast he was doing.
