The Property
The entrance is flanked by two garages, the larger of which includes separate storage, utility space, a cloakroom and small internal door. From the entrance, a central staircase leads up to the first floor and a large reception room with small terrace at the rear. This is accompanied by an open-plan kitchen overlooking a dining area, with a window facing the mews. The second floor offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dressing room/study, which can be accessed from the landing.
Planning Permission
Planning permission was granted in November 2021 to convert the ground floor into a lateral living area, with the garage doors being replaced with glazing and the addition of a single-storey basement across the footprint of the building, which would add a significant amount of space and accommodation. In addition there is approved planning for the introduction of large contemporary windows to the rear elevation
History
Ennismore Mews has a colourful history to match its colourful facades and well-worn cobbles. The mews was built by the Thorn brothers in the late 1800’s to provide coach houses/stabling, with one of the original horse troughs still remaining as does the arch which was built to make the southern entrance more in-keeping with the grand street scape. By the 1930’s most of the buildings had been converted into homes and by the 1960s, the desirability of this charming enclave was firmly on the map, becoming a frequently used backdrop for iconic TV series, movies and advertisements.
The Neighbourhood
Ennismore Garden Mews is quiet and colourful mews hidden away from the hubbub of Knightsbridge yet benefits from all the local world-renowned cultural attractions, amenities and 660 acres expanse of green space in Kensington Palace Gardens and Hyde Park.
This freehold house is located within the Knightsbridge Conservation Area and the London Borough of Westminster.
