The five-storey apartments were built from 1906 to 1907 by the Edwardian developer Robert Emerson, who was also responsible for two similar estates downriver (see History). The current 65 units range in size but all enjoy the same high ceilings and tall sash windows of the period, many with scenic views across the river and local gardens.

From leasehold to freehold

Though the flats started out as rented quarters, the bulk have since evolved into 999-year leaseholds with a share in the freehold.

Looped by the Thames on three sides and interlaced with ancient waterways, Barnes is one of London’s picturesque waterside villages. With its nesting birds and flowing tides, its boating pubs and river races, Barnes can seem more like a coastal resort than a city suburb, but it lies just a stone’s skim from Hyde Park.
