2 bed flat for sale

4 Somerville Avenue, London SW13

Sometimes a flat comes along that makes you stop scrolling. This is that flat.

At 1,682 sq ft (156.3 sq m), this first-floor residence in the iconic riverside depository at Harrods Village, Barnes, is defined by its river views. From the moment you step inside, the Thames is the star: A wide, ever-changing panorama across the water from both the main reception room and the principal bedroom, filling the flat with light and a sense of space you don't find in typical two-bedroom apartments.

High ceilings and generous proportions amplify the outlook, creating a calm, considered home that works as well for quiet mornings with the river in view as it does for evening gatherings with the lights of the opposite bank twinkling beyond the glass. With lift access, an allocated parking space and the potential to create a sweeping open-plan kitchen and living room (subject to consents), this is a rare, ready-to-upgrade riverside proposition in one of southwest London's most exclusive addresses.

The main reception room is a proper living space built around the view: Bright, airy and framed by the Thames. The principal bedroom enjoys the same river aspect, offering a serene, hotel-like retreat where you wake up to the water and the sky.

The kitchen and living room present an exciting opportunity: With the usual consents, you can open them up into a single, expansive entertaining space that keeps the river as the focal point. Ideal for cooking, dining and relaxing without losing the sense of separate zones when you want them. Practical touches elevate everyday life: Lift access throughout and an allocated parking space in a secure underground car park.
