Located in a highly sought-after part of Bloomsbury, this three-bedroom modern mews house has generous living space and a charming south-facing garden. It was converted and extended by the renowned architect Doug Branson in c.2000.

Accommodation is arranged over two storeys and measures approximately 2,068 sq ft (192 sq m). The ground floor contains an open-plan reception with fitted kitchen and a dining area with large windows looking onto the garden. There is also a utility room and guest cloakroom. The first floor contains an open-plan study with a balcony overlooking the garden, as well as three bedrooms (two of which can be interlinked), two bathrooms and a utility room. The master bedroom also has access to a balcony at the front.

The walled garden is unusally large for a mews house in central London, and measures approximately 750 sq ft. The property also comes with a narrow garage, which is accessed separately from the mews. There is good storage space throughout the house, particularly on the ground floor, where a hatch leads to a cellar beneath the kitchen.

Kings Mews is situated to the rear of the large Georgian houses on John Street. The nearby Brunswick Centre has a variety of shops, a cinema and a Waitrose supermarket. Green space can be found at Russell Square, Gray’s Inn Gardens and Coram’s Fields. The restaurants and bars of Clerkenwell, Exmouth Market, Covent Garden and Soho are all within walking distance, as are the colleges and institutes of the University of London.

History

The house on King’s Mews was converted and extended in c2000 to a design by the architect Doug Branson, who created it for the use of himself and his family.

In 1985 Branson founded the practice Branson Coates Architecture with Nigel Coates, and the pair worked together until 2006. They carried out a number of high-profile projects, including the extension to the Geffrye Museum in Shoreditch and the National Centre for Popular Music in Sheffield (which is now called The Hub).

Branson Coates also made a name for themselves as exhibition designers. Most notably, they designed the Body Zone at the Millennium Dome, with its highly publicised giant figures.
