A four-bedroom house has been listed for sale in a cobbled central London mews – the last one in the capital to stable horses other than the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace.

Arranged over four floors, with a garage at ground level and a kitchen-dining room on the floor below, it’s one of the last homes to have been granted planning permission for a double basement by Westminster City Council.

In its sought-after mews location, on the north side of Hyde Park, the newly-renovated property has been listed for sale for £3,275,000.

A few doors down are two mews houses used by Ross Nye Stables, a London riding school offering private riding lessons in and around Hyde Park.

“The horses all go out the other entrance [of the mews], it’s literally a stone’s throw from the park,” says Marlon Lloyd Malcolm of Lurot Brand who are marketing the property, “You get the benefit of seeing lovely horses and having them there stops Bathurst Mews becoming a throughway, too.”

Mews houses typically don’t have gardens as they were designed for servants and staff of the houses behind them, so the homes use the pretty mews as their outside space – with benches, olive trees and floral displays lining the street.

“There was a real sense of community in the last lockdown,” says Lloyd Malcolm, “People came together, sitting out in the sunshine.”

The majority of the 63 mews houses in the street – excluding the stables – are around 1,000sq ft and range in price from £1.5 million to £2.2 million.

Extra space: the four-storey mews house was one of the last to be granted permission for a double basement by Westminster council

The extended home currently for sale is over 1,900sq ft, with a media room, office and shower room on the basement floor that could be used as bedroom suites instead.

An open-plan kitchen-dining room sits on the lower-ground floor, with windows allowing for plenty of natural light.

On the ground floor, there is a garage and reception room that runs the length of the property.

Upstairs are two further bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms.

In the three weeks since being put on the market with Lurot Brand, Lloyd Malcolm says most interest has come from potential buyers who are wedded to the idea of living in the street.
