If you live in a Castelnau period home in Barnes, you probably already know the charm is in the details: the curved skirting, old timber, bay windows, generous ceilings, and furniture that somehow fits the house better than anything modern ever could.

If you are moving out of a flat in Barnes, the last few days can feel a bit relentless.
