Historic London Mews Home With Film Pedigree Lists for £2.35 Million
A two-bedroom property in the prestigious Holland Park Mews, which appeared in 1960s films, is on the market for £2.35 million.
A compact, two-bedroom home in one of London's most distinguished mews streets has been listed for sale at £2.35 million. Holland Park Mews, located in West London, is known for its picturesque properties dating back to the 1860s, with most of its 67 houses holding Grade II listed status. The property currently on the market is being marketed by estate agent Maskells.
Originally built as stables for the grand mansion houses lining Holland Park, these mews homes now cater to a more affluent demographic. The mews itself is accessed through an engraved arch, also Grade II listed, and features a cobbled road. Architectural guides have described Holland Park Mews as a 'very ritzy mews' and a 'cathedral among mews'. The area gained a cinematic presence in the 1960s, featuring in the films "Crossplot" (1969), starring Roger Moore, and "Corruption" (1968), with Peter Cushing.
The interior of the two-bedroom property spans 1,303 sq ft. The first floor features an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area with exposed brickwork, offering a warehouse-style aesthetic. A study, equipped with bespoke bookshelves, is also located on this floor and could potentially serve as an additional bedroom. The ground floor houses the two bedrooms and a garage.
The bathrooms are finished in a contemporary style, featuring modern fittings. A notable amenity for a London property is the integrated private garage, providing secure parking and extra storage.
Jamie Hope, managing director of sales at Maskells, highlighted Holland Park Mews as one of London's most sought-after addresses, citing its historical significance, tranquil environment, proximity to transport links, amenities, and Holland Park itself. The property falls into council tax band H, the highest valuation band in England and Wales.
Meanwhile, data released this month indicates that London has experienced the slowest house price growth among British cities over the past decade. Between 2016 and 2026, asking prices in the capital increased by only 7 percent, according to Rightmove. While the average home price in London remains the highest in Britain at £687,080, the increase over the last ten years amounts to £47,487. In contrast, cities in the Midlands, Northern England, and Wales have seen substantial growth. Rising mortgage rates due to inflation are also contributing to increased costs for homebuyers and those remortgaging.
