Mews - house / freehold 2 bedrooms, 1 reception, 1 bathroom
Description
Located at the end of a mews of eight houses, surrounded by walls of ivy and wisteria, this modernist mid 1960's gem is only moments from Kensington Gardens and Notting Hill.
With East and West facing windows, there is a play of light and shadow throughout the day, while artfully placed mirrors enhance the sense of space designed to reflect the lush exterior surroundings. What makes this house so special, besides its unique location, is its original interior designed by architect Joanna Macfadyen who lived in this mews house with her husband, the film producer Thorold Dickinson till 1979. The house still reflects the modernist ethos of this remarkable generation. The current owners, two artists, use the house as their London living and working base. Light fills the open plan living/dining room and kitchen on the first floor, with two bedrooms and a skylit bathroom on the second. There is a balcony facing the mews courtyard and a sunny roof terrace, which is a wonderful recreative space. Established planning permissions for the alteration of the garage as well as an extension of the roof terrace, give this property exciting possibilities.
