Property description & features
- Tenure: Leasehold
Herschell Mews with its intriguing history predates 1880. In the early 1900’s, supported by a trust, the Mews housed young married couples and elderly single women of limited means. Redeveloped in the early 1990’s it is now a unique private enclave, set back from the street with gated accessed.The pair of two storey buildings house ten flats in total which all overlook the wonderful shared communal garden. The convivial nature of living in Herschell mews stems from both the design and strong sense of community created by those that live there. The beautiful garden has a fantastic legacy and is central to the mews enjoyment. In the mid 90’s the garden underwent a 'make-over' for the first series of Garden Doctors on Channel Four. Dan Pearson, the leading landscape designer worked with residents to develop ideas for this exceptional communal garden. Filmed over two weekends, the residents joined forces with the landscape team to transform the patch of bare grass into an urban meadow-scape. The planting is exquisite, clever, and ever changing throughout the seasons. The garden incorporates a central communal space with a long table and a sunny arbour, creating a magical outdoor setting to be enjoyed by all mews residents.
Number 7 Hershell Mews is one of the two larger properties and benefits from a sheltered entrance. Within the property the double aspect, open living and dinning room has a magnificent solid hardwood parquet floor. This accentuates the extremely generous proportions, unusual for a reception room in a flat or indeed typical Victorian terrace housing, and with high ceilings has a fabulous spacious and airy feel.
Both bedrooms have the same rich parquet flooring and the internal hall has a lighter solid oak floor. The kitchen and bathroom are both architecturally designed. The bathroom has a walk in shower and separate bath. The woodwork to the bath and cupboards complements the hall. The kitchen, with solid black honed granite worktops, upper and lower cabinets has space for table and chairs.
