Property Description
Ansleigh Place 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. It is a cul-de-sac off Stoneleigh Place in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It contains 11 properties used for residential purposes.
In World War II, a high explosive bomb fell onto Treadgold Street, north-east of the Mews. When the London Poverty Maps were published, the area was noted as having a mixture of normal living conditions and lower than average household salaries.
The two storey properties are down one side of the cul-de-sac only, have pitched and parapet roof styles and plain brickwork facades. Parking varies between restricted and allocated along the tarmacadam road surface. The 1987 film ‘Withnail & I’ used Ansleigh Place as a filming location. The Mews is not part of any Conservation Area.
Everchanging Nature
Originally the stable house accommodation for the main houses on Stoneleigh Street, the primary purpose of the Mews properties is now residential.
Before and since 2003 there have been a few planning applications made for alterations to the properties in Ansleigh Place; mainly changes to the fenestration. The three properties at the end of the terrace used to be one unit, and are linked internally but have since been redeveloped into 3 separate properties.
