Property Description
Situated within Inner London in the Borough of Camden, is Gottfried Mews; a cobbled cul-de-sac off Fortess Road. The Mews contains very few properties used for commercial purposes. It is located on the site of an original Mews but has been re-developed to a degree that it no longer contains any surviving Mews properties.
A number of high explosive bombs fell near Fortess Road, not far from the Mews in World War II and when the London Poverty Maps were first published, the area was deemed to have comfortable living conditions.
The one and two storey properties have plain brickwork facades with a mixture of pitched and flat roof styles, surrounded by a cobbled road surface.
Everchanging Nature
The original purpose of the Mews was to provide stable/ coach house accommodation for the main houses on the surrounding streets and nowadays they are predominantly used for commercial purposes, mainly disused garages. A planning application was submitted in 2013 for the new development of some Mews Style houses.
