Investment Property in Kew, Mortlake & Barnes

Barnes is an attractive residential village located on the south side of the River Thames, opposite Hammersmith. The area has become popular with young professional families. Despite its relatively central location Barnes often seems somewhat removed being a leafy district, surrounded on three sides by the River Thames.

The area has many well-proportioned family homes and has a multitude of good local nursery and primary schools. The easy train link to Central London and the proximity of Richmond Park make Barnes an extremely popular choice.

Kew village retains all the charm of the eighteenth century when the Hanoverian royal family made it their home. The painter Thomas Gainsborough is buried in Kew Church. The National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office) is also based in Kew, holding 900 years of historical records, including the Domesday Book.

Moving east along the river is Mortlake, finishing point of the annual Oxford v Cambridge boat race, and where eccentric Victorian explorer Richard Burton is buried on a splendid tent shaped tomb in the cemetery.

Nearby Barnes village was home to the composer Gustav Holst and novelist Henry Fielding. Barnes pond and common add to the traditional village feel complete with ducks and geese.
