Lowther Road

On a quiet street in village-like Barnes, a leafy brick and stucco façade belies the contemporary four-bedroom house for rent that awaits inside.

An archway of greenery leads through the front door and into an impressive hallway that sets the tone: marble flooring and a striking spiral staircase. Behind a hidden panelled door, a study offers privacy and focus. Beyond, monochrome tiles give way to detailed parquet flooring as the open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room unfolds – a space conceived for modern living and effortless entertaining.

At its heart, an award-winning LANSERRING kitchen commands attention. A marble-topped waterfall island forms the centrepiece, fitted with a Quooker tap and Liebherr drinks fridge, paired with Paolo Tilche bar stools. Deep grey cabinetry and a mottled splashback set a sophisticated backdrop for AEG appliances, while pendant lights with brushed gold fittings add a soft, ambient glow.

Across the room, the atmosphere shifts more intimate. Exposed brick columns, lit by uplighters, add texture and warmth, while a skylight brings natural light to the seating area below. A custom-made Nathan Lindberg oak dining table anchors the space, surrounded by six Norman Cherner chairs, creating an elegant yet inviting setting. A Fiddle-leaf fig and sculptural wave mirror are homely touches. Through Crittall-style doors, a snug beckons – cosy and cocooning with a remote-controlled fire, Ligne Roset Togo sofa and a timeless Noguchi coffee table.

At the back of the home, double Crittall doors lead out to the landscaped garden, where a flagstone patio gives way to a manicured lawn. Outdoor furniture by Domkapa and Neptune creates a considered setting for alfresco dining and summer gatherings.

Upstairs, the home’s sleeping quarters unfold via the sweeping spiral staircase – a design statement with black minimalist spindles and a curved wooden banister lit by cascading pendant lights. The principal suite occupies much of the first floor, complete with dressing room, walk-in wardrobe and a sanctuary-esque en suite bathroom. Sisal wallpaper, mirrored wardrobes and cast-iron radiators nod to the heritage details, while slate herringbone tiles, dual Cielo sinks and a freestanding bath in the en suite lend a contemporary finish.

The first of the guest bedrooms enjoys a similar palette, with pale grey accents and an expansive bay window. A shower room completes the first floor, flecked with gold accents and enjoying a marble-clad rainfall shower. On the second floor, two further bedrooms unfold, accompanied by a family bathroom and home gym.
