Property Description
Situated to the west of London in Hammersmith and Fulham, is Felgate Mews; a cobbled one way street off Studland Street. The Mews contains a few properties used for residential and 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.
The Mews is part of the King Street (East) Conservation Area. When the London Poverty Maps were first published, the area was deemed to have a mixture of comfortable and poorer living conditions.
Felgate Mews is made up of two and three storey, plain and painted brickwork buildings with mansard and pitched roof styles, surrounded by a cobbled road surface and partial-raised pavements.
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 the properties are used for residential purposes, though some commercial activity still remains in the form of garages.
There have been a number of planning applications made for alterations to the properties within the Mews both before and since 2003, most notably the complete demolition of the existing buildings and redevelopment (including basement excavation) in 2012.
