A Characterful Mews House with a Roof Terrace in South Kensington

The ground floor is centred around a generous reception room, where dark timber floors, a broad bay window and a Swedish tiled stove create a distinctive focal point. Invented in the 18th century for efficient heating, the kakelugn is a focal point and practical, designed to retain warmth long after the fire has gone out. A separate kitchen sits just off the hall, with white cabinetry, integrated appliances and brass detailing.

On the lower-ground floor, a cinema room provides an atmospheric space for entertaining or informal gatherings, with dark walls, built-in shelving and a dedicated utility room beyond. The house also benefits from Sonos, Lutron lighting and shades, Heatmiser app-controlled heating, biometric entry and Rivi access points for seamless WiFi roaming.

The principal bedroom occupies the first floor, alongside a large bathroom with a freestanding bath, twin basins and traditional brassware. The second bedroom sits on the top floor and can convert into a solarium or roof terrace, with tiled flooring and a retractable roof that allows the room to be opened to the sky.

Queen’s Gate Mews is wonderfully placed for South Kensington, Gloucester Road and Kensington Gardens. The museums, cafés and restaurants of South Kensington are close by, while Hyde Park, the Royal Albert Hall and the boutiques of Kensington High Street are all within easy reach.
