Property Description
Situated in South-West London in the Borough of Wandsworth, is Holbeach Mews; a gated and paved cul-de-sac off Haberson Road. The Mews contains 15 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.
The Mews is not part of a Conservation Area. A high explosive bomb fell onto Balham Grove, north of the Mews in World War II.
The one and two storey properties have painted brickwork facades and a mixture of gable and pitched roof styles, surrounded by a paved road surface with intact and converted 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 and nowadays they are predominantly used for commercial 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 conversion of a property to flats and a first floor extension.
