Chesham Mews, London

Completely rebuilt in 2011, this particularly wide house with an elegant, 31 foot frontage, also benefits from an integral garage and private off-street parking to the front.

Constructed on a steel-frame, the house does not require support from the adjacent houses and is fully insulated with a full lead-roof, mains gas and electrics, with underfloor heating and also mains water and drainage.

The house is controlled by Crestron system that was replaced in 2024, which controls the heating, air conditioning, skylights, curtains and lighting all from your iPhone, wall panels and iPads. There are Sky, and BT internet connections and the office has also been set up for video calling and the house has Starlink.

A generous entrance hall with a guest cloakroom and access to the integral garage, also opens to a ground floor reception room which is currently used as an office/meeting room. This room has a hidden sink and fridge in the fitted cupboard, and an area for a coffee machine etc. This room could be changed into another reception room, or even a bedroom for a Nanny, as it has water and a sink already, and there is a guest cloakroom just across the hallway.

The house is suffused with light facing south and has a large opening rooflight above the staircase which sits above an atrium/light-well taking light from the top floor all the way to the basement bedrooms.

Occupying the whole 31' width of the first floor is a lateral, open-plan living room comprising reception, dining area and kitchen/breakfast room. This is bespoke and benefits from Gaggennau and Miele appliances. There are 2.75m ceilings and four south-west facing, sash windows giving superb afternoon sun.

The lower ground floor comprises two double en suite bedrooms, one with a dressing room and both served by the impressive staircase atrium/void, letting light into the basement level. There is also a plant room.

On the second floor, the full width is again given to the principal bedroom and en suite bathroom that is generous and contemporary in its design and shape with sky-lights with blackout-blinds.

All the bedrooms and reception rooms have electric curtains and blinds controlled by a Crestron system, that operates the whole house. There is also underfloor heating and air-conditioning throughout.

What the seller says:

"We have lived at 24 Chesham Mews for 13 years, and have loved every minute, as it has a village feel in the centre of London. Amazing bars, restaurants and pubs all within walking distance. There is the beautiful Belgrave Square Gardens has been a wonderful park to take 'Bonnie', our golden retriever.

Not only can you shop till you drop within 10 mins of home, but also nip out to Waitrose till late to grab some food-shopping, or a bottle of vino. It is safe, peaceful and quiet with no passing traffic noise outside your windows.

The cobbled mews is maintained by Grosvenor Estates and there is an annual maintenance payment, over the past 5 years it has ranged from £342 to £510 per year depending on what needs to be repaired in the mews. For the use of Belgrave Gardens, outdoor gym, children’s play area and dog it is around £150. To use the tennis court, it is extra (but we have never done this and I believe there is a waiting list)".

There is access to Belgrave Square Gardens (by separate arrangement with the Grosvenor Estate), literally 200m around the corner. Here there are manicured gardens with lawns flanked by mature boarders, enclosed by mature trees creating an hidden oasis that includes a children’s play area, tennis court and outdoor gym/circuit training.

Dogs are also allowed if you apply for the dog licence.

Chesham Mews is a charming cobbled mews accessed via Belgrave Mews West, which is a private street with remote bollard access in prime central Belgravia. Ideally placed just south of Motcomb Street, this is a fantastic location for all the shops and restaurants that the area has to offer.

Sloane Street has all the super-high-end retail shopping, arguably the best in Europe also with Harrods and Harvey Nichols. Motcomb Street provides a village environment with a range of restaurants and shops to satisfy a broad spectrum of day to day living, including a large Waitrose supermarket.

The mews is very quiet with no passing traffic, and benefits from the security surrounding the two neighbouring embassies.
