House For Rent £14,500
Vernon Road

Creatively and carefully considered throughout, a simple, fresh palette of muted tones allows the materials – wood, marble and glass – to take centre stage, with rays of light gently washing walls and floors. There is a south facing garden at the rear, with built-in floating benches sit before a feature brick-face wall, creating a generous outdoor dining space to enjoy entertaining around the fire-pit.  

This particular property is end of terrace and therefore benefits from having no immediate neighbours to the left of the plot.


A metal gate within the front wall swings open to a small and elegant front garden, where a tiled path culminates at a very pretty front door. Entry is to a generous hallway, a flush door conceals a stunning guest cloakroom, bespoke storage for coats and shoes and a fitted bench.

Off to the right is a warm and intimate home-cinema with square bay window and feature lighting, the perfect place for the whole family to get cosy in front of a film and the fire.

At the rear, within the south facing extension, lies a large open plan room for cooking, dining and relaxing. Floor-to-ceiling Crittall-style glazing with two sets of French doors stretches across the rear and bathes the space with a wonderful quality of natural light and encourages the living area to extend beyond the glass boundary onto a lovely garden area; the perfect spot for a morning coffee and al fresco evening drinks around the firepit.

The room is laid out to suit its distinct uses. There is space to sit, chat and relax adjacent a defined dining area, the kitchen has been executed to an incredibly high standard, smart runs of cabinetry resulting in a highly practical and pleasing set of worktop spaces. This room is wired for a sound system with flush ceiling speakers and a very handy hidden study occupies space behind a barn style door.

Downstairs in the basement there is a superb utility room with washing machine and dryer.


The first floor comprises a principal bedroom with a luxurious en-suite with free-standing bath and large-format shower and separate dressing room. The second double bedroom also has ample storage, and there are two further bedrooms on the second floor with two further beautiful bathrooms, one being another en-suite.

Some bedrooms have the benefit of air-conditioning and all have beautiful ceiling fans.

You’d be hard pressed to find another community like East Sheen. It’s fun, vibrant and a mix of thoroughly interesting and creative types who love their neighbourhood, reflected in the colourful list of coffee shops, great pubs such as The Plough and The Hare and Hounds, and the lots of local independent restaurants and quirky retail shops.

It’s also a hub of public transport; another factor in this extraordinary city fringe destination, along with exceptional public spaces (Richmond Park and the River Thames), local Farmer’s Markets and being sandwiched between fabulous Barnes and Richmond, you’ll be thoroughly occupied and fulfilled at weekends. The A316 allows fast access to the M3, M4, M25 and beyond.

Close to Mortlake Station (fastest train is approx. twenty minutes to Waterloo), this is a superb family home in one of the most sought-after areas of South-West London.

Excellent schools, both state and private, are another huge bonus of living in the area and including Thomson House (Outstanding), East Sheen Primary (Outstanding), Tower House (Private) and The Harrodian (Private) to name but a few.
