The Garden Hideaway,  Barnes Border, SW14 London
Cosy, warm, charming, quirky, and secluded ensuite double bedroom studio hideaway at the bottom of the garden with its own private entrance and back gate. <br />Perfect place to relax in - you could almost be in the country.  Ideal for a couple, close friends or a parent and teenager, maybe visiting friends or family locally. Or the Roehampton Club, the National Tennis Centre or Wimbledon.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The Garden Hideaway is an unexpected, tranquil, fairytale-like retreat from life in central  London. A wonderful contrast at the end of a busy day sightseeing, shopping or visiting friends and with its own private seating area. Tea, coffee and biscuits provided. The woodland like garden with surrounding mature trees is unusual for London.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Our first meet  ( with sanitiser) will be in front of the house ( during Covid times) and then via a back gate with key. Any useful further instructions will be on a typed sheet in the house itself
Fitzgerald Avenue is a friendly quiet street and we know our neighbours. It is very close to pretty ‘villagey’ White Hart Lane with its cafes and interesting shops,( including a Sainsbury Local) and it leads to the river Thames with the well known White Hart Pub, the gourmet fish restaurant Rick Stein and the award winning cafe Orange Pekoe. Then the centre of Barnes is just gorgeous, again with a lovely pub, the famous Sun Inn, and the village Pond opposite the Saturday Farmers Market and lots of places to eat.  Bringing us into line with modern life we now have the wonderful and extremely comfortable and stylish Olympic Cinema with all the latest films. I could go on but I always sigh with relief when I cross Hammersmith Bridge having spent a day in Central London (which I love too by the way!) and am again in leafy residential Barnes after the hustle of Central London - which is just the other side. Now that Hammersmith Bridge is closed for repairs, it is beautifully calm!<br />We a
Hello - My name's Sarah - I'm married to Patrick and we've lived in this old Victorian house for over  30 years. We built our Garden Hideaway because we're lucky to have such a big garden for London.  I  speak French, German and Greek  and used to teach English to international students, and have enjoyed welcoming guests from over the world to our Garden Hideaway for many years. If you're interested in lovely old things as I am, I can recommend lots of interesting antique markets for you to visit during your stay. I'm sociable, enjoy cooking, gardening and visiting markets.
