Chilworth Mews

Lofty proportions, abundant light and a versatile mezzanine define this one-bedroom apartment, balancing heritage character with contemporary living.

Set on a serene mews, this one-bedroom apartment is all spacious proportions and reams of natural light. Housed in a building that dates back to 1890, the period bones of Chilworth Mews were sensitively reworked by Fabian Architects, resulting in a home that balances the classic with the contemporary.

Enter on the first floor into an open-plan kitchen and reception room, where 4.5 metre-high ceilings and a larch arched window capture attention and flood the space with sunlight. Pale walls afford a sense of calm, while oak timber floors bring a natural warmth to the setting. Configured in an L shape, the kitchen’s stone worktops and Bosch appliances make for a streamlined culinary area. A glass-framed staircase ascends to the mezzanine level, which offers versatility to be used as a lounge, study or guest bedroom. From here, there’s access to a 120 sq ft storage space.

The principal bedroom is a minimalist haven, with neutral walls, carpeted floors and full-height wardrobes gently lit through a sash window. It’s served by a modern bathroom, finished with marble tiling and underfloor heating.
