Property Description
Hyde Park Gate Mews is a cobbled cul-de-sac off Hyde Park Gate in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Hyde Park Gate Mews contains 4 properties in an unusual regency style, modern buildings are down the left hand side of the Mews and they are all 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 was noted as having very comfortable living conditions with some of the wealthiest household earnings for the time when the London Poverty Maps were first published.
The Mews is part of Kensington’s ‘Queen’s Gate’ Conservation Area. Containing grand terraces, garden squares and intimate Mews, the Conservation Area was designated in 1969. It is bounded in the north and east sides by Westminster and incorporates London’s primary Museums.
The three storey properties have rendered or painted brickwork facades and a mixture of pitched and parapet roof styles surrounded by a cobbled road surface.
Everchanging Nature
Originally the stable/ coach house accommodation for the main houses on the surrounding streets, the primary purpose of the Mews properties is now residential.
There are no records of planning applications being made for alterations to the properties within the Mews. Conservation Area controls apply to any new development in the Mews.
