Pretty in Pink:
One of London’s Prettiest Pastel-Pink Houses Set in Historic Mews
Nestled within a quaint cobbled address in the heart of Kensington is 9 Petersham Mews, an attractive three-bedroom period home. Painted in a delicate shade of pastel pink and dressed in cascading clusters of wisteria vine, which intricately weave across the frontage, this picture-perfect home is available for £2.975 million through Maskells.
Occupying the entire second floor is the principal bedroom suite that also extends on to a separate outdoor roof terrace, which offers exceptional and far-reaching views across the Kensington.
Dating back to the late 1800s, Petersham Mews possesses a rich and illustrious history, first used as the coach house/stable accommodation for the main houses on Elvaston Place and Queen’s Gate Place.
Highly sought after for its peaceful ambience, Petersham Mews was once the cherished home of the heroic RAF Fighter Pilot Sir Douglas Bader, one of Britain's most successful fighter pilots and one of the RAF's five most deadly fighter pilots during the Second World War and the Battle of Britain, despite being a double amputee. Sir Douglas’ lifetime achievements and presence on Petersham Mews is recognised by a Blue Plaque, unveiled by Sir Richard Branson in 2009.

On the ground floor is a spacious and exquisitely decorated reception room that leads on to an open plan kitchen and dining area. Connected to the kitchen and living area is a dedicated separate laundry room.

Jamie Hope, Managing Director of Sales at selling agents Maskells commented: “This highly exclusive mews property is one of the most charming homes situated within this prime and desired South Kensington cul-de-sac. This distinctively designed and well-presented home offers flexible living space throughout, with a real feeling of peace and quiet, which is a rare feature in such a central location.”
Additional amenities include private parking since the mews benefits from a position that is set back from yellow lines. Prospective purchasers may also have exclusive access and keys to the exquisite parkland at Queens Gate Gardens (subject to separate negotiation), which is situated directly behind the property.
