Kensington Mews

Kensington Mews: Greater London

Found nowhere else in the world, mews homes are quintessentially British. This is one of the plushest you’ll see, and dreamily located for West London sightseeing. Behind a stable-style facade hides enterprising open-plan architecture, including a clever faux-patio offering light. There’s also whizzy technology – air conditioning, mood lighting, underfloor heating, even water-softeners – and luxury appliances and showers. All that and you’re just two minutes from South Kensington’s museums and underground station, and very close to Hyde Park and the Royal Albert Hall.

Home truths:
*The bedrooms are on the lower ground floor. While the bedrooms don't have windows, two of them do get natural light from light-wells above.
*The bedrooms are only accessible by stairs.
*While this home has plenty natural light, there are very few windows.
