Backstreet chic: authentic-look new mews houses on cobbled Fulham passageway for sale
Mews houses have an enduring charm.
Built from the 17th century as stables with servants' accommodation above, they became the height of backstreet chic in the Swinging Sixties, when an off-beat crowd of playboys, celebs and debs spotted them as a perfect hideaway — quaint, quiet and compact — in the heart of the city.
Later, artists and architects were snapping them up, converting the garages into studio space.
Property developers know they are on to a winner if they can create an authentic-looking mews, which Filmer Mews in Fulham certainly is.
This gated, freshly-cobbled passageway off Munster Road has nine new mews houses set over two storeys, each with up to three bedrooms and a stylish open-plan living and kitchen area.
Prices from £995,000. Call Strutt & Parker on 020 7731 7100 for more details.
