Leafy streets and sweeping stucco terraces make Bayswater a desirable place to live, but what secrets lurk behind lace curtains? Paul Hyman, sales manager at KFH Bayswater, thinks you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this property in Leinster Mews. ‘There’s a secret Latin inscription carved at the top of the stairs and a flatscreen television hidden behind the mirror in the bathroom. But the biggest surprise of all for a property in this area is the enormous sheltered garden at the back.’ And what does the inscription translate as? ‘Don’t let the bastards get you down.’

This magnificent four-storey house is in a traditional cobbled mews just moments from Hyde Park, and features two vast reception rooms, an integral garage (rare in Central London), an impressive gym, a 14-metre rear garden and three ensuite bedrooms, one of which runs the entire length of the second floor.
