Designed by the renowned architects Wells Mackereth, this exemplary modern house is located on a highly sought-after cobbled mews in Belsize Village.

The architects have retained the handsome 19th-century façade of this former stable and coach-house, with its mature wisteria that flowers beautifully in the summer, while transforming the interior for 21st-century living.

They have created a new basement with white resin floors, where a spacious playroom and bathroom are separated from two bedrooms by a folding wall that can be opened out to create one large entertaining space. They have also created a double-height entrance area with skylights, added a section of glass flooring, and full-height glazing on to a pretty terrace at the rear. The result is a house with truly exceptional levels of natural light.

Internal accommodation measures approximately 2,663 sq ft, to include four bedrooms, a study / fifth bedroom, four bathrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen / breakfast room, utility room and guest cloakroom. There is an unusually large amount of built-in storage.

The house demonstrates great attention to detail throughout, with an elegant use of materials and high-quality craftsmanship. A much-loved family home, it has featured in numerous books, newspapers and magazines, including Sunday Times Style, The Telegraph, Elle Decoration and Living Etc.

Daleham Mews runs between Daleham Gardens and Belsize Lane, and is arguably the finest mews in northwest London. Belsize Village is a short walk away. The Underground is available at Belsize Park (Northern Line) and Finchley Road (Jubilee and Metropolitan Lines). Hampstead Village and the vast open spaces of Hampstead Heath are easily accessible to the north.
