Princes Mews

Nestled in a quaint mews on the cusp of Notting Hill and Bayswater, this three-bedroom mews house for sale is a picture of considered design.

Behind a Victorian brick façade, this newly refurbished four-storey home unites period architecture with a contemporary edge. Tucked away in a tranquil spot, it offers an escape from the bustle of Notting Hill and Hyde Park, where cobbles and plant-covered terraces are the norm.

Inside, warm oak floors meet exposed timber joists and an open-plan layout, fostering a serene ambience. An original exposed brick wall runs like a spine throughout, uniting all four levels to dramatic effect. The interiors – designed by Valerie von Bechtolsheim – begin with a bespoke Ashbourne kitchen: rough-sawn oak cabinets topped with black Richlite recycled paper countertops, open shelving floating against gallery-white walls, and integrated appliances including a Fohen hot water tap and Ilve oven. A deep blue island anchors the space, complemented by Bowers & Wilkins speakers, making it an ideal setting for entertaining. Tall French doors, replacing the original stable entrance, open onto the front patio, while a light well illuminates the lower ground floor below.

A bespoke red steel staircase leads down to the family room, where tall ceilings and vibrant, green-washed walls warm a poured concrete floor and wooden joinery. Cleverly concealed beneath the stairs, a bookshelf swings open to reveal a built-in bar with yellow cabinetry, a sink and minifridge, set against Adam Ellis Studio’s playful ‘Hector & Andromache’ baboon wallpaper. Another hidden bookcase conceals a cloakroom, keeping the living space streamlined. A double-height ceiling cut-out bathes the room in natural light, spotlighting a four-metre olive tree.

The staircase continues back up to the first floor, where natural light cascades in through skylights that crown the voluminous double-height landing. The principal bedroom suite awaits on this floor. Oak floors extend into a light-filled room with French doors opening onto Juliet balconies overlooking the peaceful mews below. A navy-hued walk-in wardrobe balances the bedroom’s pale terracotta limewash walls, white beams and bespoke rattan-fronted cabinetry. The en suite bathroom is considered but characterful: green Bert & May Santona porcelain and skinny subway tiles, a bright red shower frame, and a vintage dark wood cabinet beneath a double basin.

On the second floor, two further bedrooms offer havens of calm, with pastel tones and more bespoke cabinetry. They share a canary-yellow family bathroom, enlivened by blue Bert & May Alalpardo porcelain tiles, illuminated by an over-bath skylight.
