Maison De Ville Magnifiquement Aménagée Dans Un Quartier Très Prisé.

The Mews was originally built as stable and coach house accommodation for the grand Victorian houses of the neighbouring streets and once featured on the album cover to Rod Stewart’s 1970 album, Gasoline Alley. Now converted into 14 highly desirable residential homes, properties in the mews are in high demand for their privacy, leafy surroundings and proximity to museums, restaurants and shopping.

Number 12 has been thoughtfully and considerately updated to create a stylish and beautifully appointed home, arranged over three floors and offering more than 1,600 sq ft of space with a versatile and well-planned layout. The freehold period house has a spacious ground floor comprising an expansive reception room open plan to a dining room and kitchen. The latter is fitted with sleek white gloss cabinetry and mirrored walls to reflect the light, making the room feel wonderfully bright and airy. The former garage has been converted to create a study/fourth bedroom but could be converted back to a garage if desired.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom occupies the entire first floor, including a sizeable bedroom with built-in storage, an elegant en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and shower and a separate WC. There are two further well-proportioned en suite bedrooms on the second floor, both also with built-in wardrobes.

The house benefits from its own private south-facing terrace accessed from the first floor, with space for drinks and dining alfresco. The mews is renowned for its leafy setting, with many residents lining the outside of their homes with potted plants for colour and interest.

This part of Kensington is particularly green and offers a wealth of green spaces, from the garden squares to the expanse of Hyde Park, 0.8 miles north.
