Tucked away in a quiet cobbled mews in South Kensington, the location of this home is one-of-a-kind. As are the character-filled interiors that unite the two-storey property. A smart pick for a family stay, alongside the two elegant king-sized bedrooms, there’s a children’s bedroom. Meanwhile, hidden at the top of the mews is an all-too-rare private terrace for a spot of fresh air. Although it’s just as easy to head out to Hyde Park for a runabout or jog – it’s just across the road. For wider travel, nearby Gloucester Road Underground Station (five-minute walk) will be handy. Here for sightseeing? The Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and The Royal Albert Hall are all easily reached on foot.
