House For Sale £1,250,000
Description
Between the throng of urban Camden and bustling Holloway, this classic mews house is just a short walk from Camden Square. Refurbishing with exemplary attention to detail, the owner has carved out a distinctive space and created a home that packs a punch with tonnes of period features.
Camden Mews was originally stable & coach accommodation for the bigger houses of Camden Square & Camden Road. These modest dwellings were not originally intended as family homes, and as the Edwardian era came to a close, they were left largely derelict or used as workshops for entrepreneurial locals. After heavy bombing during WW2 left large parts of the mews in tatters, most of the houses were renovated in the 1960s & 70s, before attaining conservation status in October 1974.
From the mews, twin arched entrance doors open into the reception room, resplendent with a polished concrete floor and with Victorian wall panelling wrapping around the room. A matching arched window throws the light down the entire length of the room, while a beautiful glided metalwork screen between the staircase and the front door creates a sense of separation that still allows light to flow freely.
Neatly tucked around the corner at the far end, the kitchen includes high gloss white units, quartz stone worktops, integrated appliances and a full cooking range in stainless steel. A sleek skylight bathes the room in light from the terrace above, and it's a wonderful sight looking up at the wisteria while cooking in the evening.
Staying on the ground floor, the old internal garage has been converted and is currently used as a studio with dual entrance points - the main folding timber doors from the mews, and a second door leading directly into the house. The washing machine and dryer are also cleverly housed here within a tonne of built-in storage cupboards.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, with the principal suite having a private shower room behind a pocket door and direct access to the sunny rear terrace. The second bedroom has access to both the front and rear terraces, while the third bedroom overlooks the mews at the front through two beautiful Victorian original sash windows. A further shower room/wc also leads off the landing.
Architects drawings have been created to add another floor, similar to the house next door, to provide an extra bedroom suite at the top of the house (please see architect's drawings under 'floorplan'), relevant planning permissions would need to be sought.
Camden Mews is a quiet cobbled street just off Camden Square, and is the second longest mews in London at 700 metres - pipped to the post only by Pavilion Road in Kensington that measures just under a kilometre! The location sits within the catchment area of Camden School for Girls, and there are three great primary schools within a quarter-mile radius.
You'll find a variety of independent shops on nearby York Way, including The Lord Stanley, our favourite local pub serving great food and craft beer, and Bread By Bike, the best local coffee shop with its cracking fresh pastries baked every morning. Less than 20 minutes' walk away is Camden, full of life within its legendary market alongside large supermarkets and chain stores.
For transport, the Northern and Piccadilly Lines can be picked up at Camden Town, Kentish Town and Caledonian Road (Kentish Town also has Thameslink trains), while the Overground stops at Camden Road. Plenty of bus routes stop nearby, including night routes.
