A pastel-pink period house in London’s Kensington is for sale through Maskells.
In quaint, cobbled Petersham Mews, the three-bedroom home is not only beautifully blush-coloured but is adorned with wisteria. It is on the market for £2.975 million. Dating from the late 1800s, Petersham Mews was first used as the coach house/stable accommodation for the main houses on Elvaston Place and Queen’s Gate Place.
Later it became a residential location, where inhabitants included heroic RAF fighter pilot Sir Douglas Bader, whose home is recognised by a blue plaque.
Three doors away is the pink house now for sale. It is arranged over four floors and has three generously sized bedroom suites.
On the ground floor is a spacious reception room, leading to an open-plan kitchen and dining area. Connected to this is a separate laundry room.
Winding stairs lead to the lower ground floor, currently set up as a gym/fitness room and a home cinema space that doubles as an office/study.
Two refurbished en suite bedrooms are on the first floor, one of which has sliding double doors on to a private outdoor terrace.
Occupying the entire second floor is the principal bedroom suite, also extending on to a separate outdoor roof terrace with far-reaching views.
There is private parking, and also the possibility of exclusive access and keys to the parkland at Queen’s Gate Gardens (subject to separate negotiation), which is directly behind the property.
Gloucester Road Tube is a five-minute walk away.
