Property Description
Situated in South-West London in the Borough of Wandsworth, is Barnard Mews; a gated and paved cul-de-sac off Barnard Road. The Mews contains 16 properties used for residential 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.
The Mews is not part of a Conservation Area. A high explosive bomb fell onto Beauchamp Road, just above Barnard Road in World War II and when the London Poverty Maps were first published, the area was deemed to have very comfortable living conditions with some of the highest household earnings for the time.
The three storey properties have plain brickwork facades and mansard roof styles, surrounded by a paved road surface with no garages and restricted parking.
Everchanging Nature
The original purpose of the Mews was to provide stable/ coach house accommodation for the main houses on the surrounding streets but nowadays they are predominantly used for residential purposes.
Before and since 2003 there have been a number of planning applications made for alterations to the properties within the Mews, the most notable being; the change of use of many properties from offices to residential.
