100 Unaltered Mews Properties
Initially most mews would have been two storeys comprising coach house doors and pedestrian doors to the ground floor and fenestration with perhaps a hay door to the first floor and a sloping roof hidden behind a parapet wall at roof level. The whole property would be finished in brickwork and timber with little in the way of decoration.
