Property Description

Situated in south-east London in the Borough of Lewisham, is Wickham Mews; a through road off Ashby Road. The Mews contains 7 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 not part of a Conservation Area. A high explosive bomb fell directly onto the Mews in World War II.

The one and two storey properties have rendered and painted brickwork facades and a mixture of different roof styles, surrounded by a tarmacadam, pebbled and concrete road surface with intact and converted garages. There are wooden bressumers and winches present in the Mews. It consists of 2-3 different parts, mainly derelict garages, a bus converted for residential purposes and in 2008 there was an original stable still running with horses inside.

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 used for a mixture of residential and commercial purposes.

Before and since 2003 there have been a few planning applications made for alterations to the properties within the Mews, mainly garage conversions.
