Colville Mews

A symphony of scale and light, this two-bedroom mews home for sale defies expectation, unfolding to reveal unexpected lateral living.

While mews homes are often defined by their human scale, this double-fronted address on Colville Mews is a rare exception. Formerly a pair of garages, it has been entirely reimagined by architects Arya Douge, with the footprint opened up to create an extraordinary sense of volume.

Architectural interventions are bold yet measured. From the cobbles, a crisp double-fronted façade with expansive multi-paned windows draws in ample south-facing light. Inside, an inverted layout reveals a dramatic double-height void over the lateral living space, illuminated from above.

Proportions impress immediately. Ceilings rise over five metres, while the 12-metre-wide communal area stretches wall to wall – a seamless sequence of kitchen, dining and lounging spaces where atmosphere shifts with the changing light.

At its core, a sculptural curving staircase forms a striking focal point, gently softening the home’s architectural lines. The palette is calm and considered: earthy Paint & Paper Library tones paired with darker joinery and antique bronze metalwork for depth. Everything has been thoughtfully executed, down to the Corston light switches.

The kitchen is confidently understated. Exquisite joinery conceals a coffee station and pantry behind fully retracting doors and soft-close drawers. Newly installed Miele appliances sit alongside white limestone worktops and a Quooker tap. The living area meanwhile manages to feel both expansive and intimate, its canvas-like walls a gallery backdrop for large-scale artworks.

Perched above, two bedroom suites are discreetly positioned, overlooking the volume below. Both are understated yet rich in detail with reeded glass, bespoke storage and considered en suites. The principal suite sets the tone: fluted ceramic tiles create a subtle undulating effect, complemented by rust-toned walls, double basins, a walk-in shower and freestanding bath for a spa-like finish. The guest suite follows suit, complete with a generous walk-in shower room.

Ensuring comfort matches design, the home is equipped with underfloor heating and a MVHR system that filters fresh air throughout. Functionality is also seamlessly integrated. Custom storage, a plant room and a downstairs cloakroom ensure the aesthetic remains uncluttered.
