Convent Mews
This modern six-bedroom mews home – set over 4,844 sq.ft. – provides space and privacy in abundance. With enhanced seclusion afforded by its position within a gated community, the interiors continue to flatter by offering stylish living across four floors. The lower ground floor features a cardio gym, a cinema room and a living area that opens onto the patio. The kitchen, replete with Miele appliances and exquisite wood cabinetry, is fully fitted and provides seamless connectivity to the rest of the lower ground level through its open design.
An outdoor spiral staircase leads up from the lower ground seating area to the southwest-facing garden. The garden also provides access to the garage. Inside, the expansive reception room gives way to the landing, while residents also benefit from a study. With stone and wood flooring throughout – as well as other striking contemporary details – the floating staircase adds a touch of elegance while providing access to the sleeping quarters.
Full-width glazing enhances the main bedrooms, each of which includes an en suite. Additionally, both upper floors offer two extra bedrooms – ideal for hosting family and friends. The principal bedrooms on each floor offer walk-in dressing rooms, while both rooms furnish residents with views of the far-reaching garden, a particular highlight in the bustling city.

Deepdale
Set behind grand gates, this majestic property affords residents an unparalleled sense of privacy.
With the home unfolding over 5,802 sq.ft, the entrance hall sets the tone, featuring a spiral staircase with a study hidden to the side. The reception room – flooded with natural light and fitted with hardwood flooring – leads through to the main living and dining area, replete with space thanks to its open-plan design. The domed atrium of the dining room – visible from the upper floor – is also a sophisticated addition. A modern, fully-equipped kitchen is connected to the living space, while the utility room off the kitchen provides added convenience.
A regal staircase welcomes residents to the sleeping quarters, with three commanding bedrooms – all en suite – directly off the first-floor landing.

The first-floor guest bedrooms, which overlook the front of the property, are generously proportioned, with contemporary en-suite bathrooms.

Somerset Road
Set back from the road behind private gates, this double-fronted detached house is a testament to contemporary design. Opening into a spacious reception area, the home offers a study to the left and an equally spacious reception room to the right. The rear of the ground floor level is occupied by the open-plan kitchen and living area, complete with modern stone and wood textures – adding an air of sophistication. The living space also provides access to the expansive garden.
The lower ground floor – accessible by a centrally-located staircase uniting four levels – reflects a reverence for a leisurely lifestyle. Home to a games room – which is, coincidentally, the biggest room in the abode – as well as a gym, a cinema room and one of the property’s eight bedrooms, the lower level shines as an example of modern living.
The first floor is dominated by the principal bedroom, which features a generously proportioned dressing room – comparable in size to some of the guest bedrooms. Also on this level are two additional bedrooms, each with access to well-appointed bathrooms. A staircase then leads to the upper floor, where four further bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the home’s impressive living quarters.
While the interiors of this elegant property are a culmination of expert design, the exterior spaces also provide a similar standard of refined living. The verdant garden offers ample space to comfortably host gatherings, while its rich greenery evokes a sense of bucolic tranquillity – all just a short drive from central London.
