With its grand squares of traditional stucco townhouses, Belgravia is the definition of elegant. Despite its central location (Victoria station is only a short stroll away here), the neighbourhood manages to maintain a feeling of tranquillity and privacy. Take Ebury Mews. Found on a cobbled street, charm – and a sense of calm – radiate inside and out.
Arranged over four floors, each with their own designated purpose, this is a home to spread out in. Step inside to a dual aspect dining room awash with natural light. There’s a six-seater Perspex table for evenings in, plus a bar area for mixing drinks. The adjoining kitchen is just as bright and well-appointed, complete with streamlined integrated appliances. For those who want to hang up their aprons, a host of delectable restaurants (try Boisdale or Chucs), are minutes away.
The cityscape views get even better as you ascend the enclosed spiral staircase. Gaze out towards the treetops of leafy Chester Square Garden in one direction and Eccleston Street in the other from the first floor living room. A quiet, inviting space, kick back on the velvet sofa, settle down to watch a film, or curl up with a good book under the glow of the curved floor lamp.
There’s also a guest bedroom on this floor, finished with characteristically understated style. The principal bedroom above is just as soothing: think neutral walls and pared back design that’s conducive to switching off. Across the landing, an en suite room serves as a separate dressing area with ample storage, although it could be set up as an occasional bedroom if required. The family shower room next door is considered, with large-format tiles that stretch to the ceiling and a generous walk-in shower.
Press pause for a while in the cosy snug above – or decamp to the roof terrace when the sun shines. Something of a rarity in this part of town, fruit trees add to the secret garden feel here, making it the perfect spot for watching the world go by.
