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.
