London mews houses for sale
The history of the mews house – low level, terraced one- or two-storey homes built in Victorian times - is that of rags to riches.
Typically ‘add-ons’ ( often accessed by underground passages) to the grandest of London villas, cobbled mews streets, mostly cul-de-sacs, were effectively the hidden ‘service roads’ running behind the residences of the Victorian and Edwardian elite.
Quite unlike any other prime property in London, once-seedy cobbled mews streets are still some of the best addresses in the capital for they are (deliberately) off the beaten track, hidden passages of peace and tranquillity in London’s most chic areas.
And with property developers now imitating the mews house’s unique style to offer new build versions, a genuine period property – both culturally and architecturally important - is in high demand.
