Maison, Boyne Terrace Mews, Londres

Despite its proximity to boutique-lined Holland Park Avenue, there’s a peaceful, charming feel to Boyne Terrace Mews. Unassuming from the outside, inside pared-back design accentuates the space and light on offer throughout.

Spread over four floors, communal living areas are found on the ground and lower ground levels. Both are bright, inviting and open onto outdoor terraces. In the generous sized reception room, bi-fold doors completely retract, dissolving boundaries with the courtyard-style, southeast-facing garden. Mirrored panels amplify the al fresco footprint while high fences make this an incredibly private space, with access to a garage at the rear of the property.

Below, the open-plan kitchen and dining room is ergonomic and sociable. White lacquered cabinets contrast with black worktops and large format floor tiles, creating a sleek and streamlined backdrop for hosting, complete with integrated Siemens appliances. Fold back the doors onto a mirrored courtyard to invite fresh air in. There’s also a utility room with a cloakroom on this floor.

The principal suite occupies the first floor, where white walls create a calming backdrop and French doors open onto a curved balcony. A generous walk-in wardrobe provides ample storage, while the en suite bathroom features a bathtub and access to a second balcony. Two further bedrooms share a contemporary family bathroom, finished with mirrored panels and sky-blue surfaces. Above, a fourth bedroom sits beneath the eaves on the second floor, filled with natural light.

Found just off Lansdowne Road and round the corner for Holland Park Avenue, Boyne Terrace Mews puts you in walking distance to some of the area’s best independent spots. Shop for groceries at Supermarket of Dreams, followed by something sweet from Buns from Home or Melt Chocolates. Browse Daunt Books then take a stroll through charming Clarendon Cross. For special occasions, there’s Six Portland Road and Julie’s – or head to Gold on Portobello Road, just 10 minutes away.
