Chilworth Mews, London, W2

Guide Price - £2,300,000 to £2,500,000

Set within a charming cobbled mews moments from Paddington, this thoughtfully reimagined home has been rebuilt back to brick by the current owners, with a full basement addition and an exacting attention to detail throughout. Known as The Black Mews, the house feels distinctive without being overstated, where the choice of materials and overall layout have been carefully considered. Alongside the quiet intimacy of the setting, Hyde Park is just a short walk away, while excellent transport connections nearby provide swift access across London and directly to Heathrow.

The ground floor is arranged as an open-plan space, with kitchen, dining and sitting areas merging seamlessly together. A handmade kitchen by The Main Company introduces a natural warmth, complemented by integrated Miele appliances and a Bora hob with teppanyaki grill. A breakfast bar provides a focal point, set against a striking panda marble worktop. The space feels equally suited to everyday use and more formal entertaining.

On the lower ground floor, there is a second reception room which is currently used as a cinema, offering a more tucked away feel. A utility room and shower room are also found on this level, adding a practical element without interrupting the overall flow of the house.

The staircase runs up through the centre of the property, passing exposed brickwork and Crittall style glazing, and bringing a sense of continuity between each floor. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, each with built in storage, alongside a striking Crittall style glazed study that brings in plenty of light, and a further shower room.

The principal bedroom occupies the top floor and has a distinctly indulgent feel, wrapped in a rich black palette that gives the space a real sense of warmth and intimacy. A large skylight draws in natural light above, softening the darker tones, while an open-plan bathroom including bio ethanol fireplace and walk-in dressing area flows through to the bedroom, creating a space that feels indulgent and relaxed.

Elsewhere, features such as an air source heat pump for energy-efficiency and lower-carbon heating, air conditioning across three floors, a discreet dumbwaiter, fittings by Buster + Punch, underfloor heating, bio ethanol fireplaces, electric blinds and smart lighting all contribute to a house that is as practical as it is well designed.

There is access to an informal roof terrace from the top floor which could potentially be formally demised subject to the necessary planning permission and consents.

Chilworth Mews sits at the heart of Paddington, perfectly placed for a lifestyle that blends neighbourhood charm with a lively, evolving scene. Just a short stroll away, Paddington Basin has become a go-to for waterside dining and relaxed evenings, while the newly introduced Paddington Square adds a fresh mix of shops, cafés, and everyday conveniences.

For a change of pace, Hyde Park is moments away, offering a vast expanse of green space in the heart of the city. From early morning walks along tree-lined paths to unhurried afternoons by the Serpentine, it provides a welcome pause from the pace of urban life. One of London’s most established landscapes, it offers a natural counterpoint to the city’s energy.

Connections are effortless, with Paddington Station nearby offering mainline services, the Heathrow Express (offering 15 minute travel to Heathrow Airport), and multiple Underground lines including the Elizabeth line. Lancaster Gate Station is also close by, providing Central line access. The Elizabeth line in particular makes direct travel to the City (11 minutes) and Canary Wharf (17 minutes), quick and straightforward.
