🏆 Mews Let of the Year: Cornwall Mews South, SW7

One of the most remarkable lettings of 2025 has been the rapid letting of a property on Cornwall Mews South, a prime and picturesque mews street in South Kensington.

This unique case highlights the strength of demand for quality mews homes in central London, as well as the lifestyle appeal that makes them highly sought after by tenants.

The mews property was first sold by Lurot Brand

Cornwall Mews South is renowned for its cobbled charm and elegant façades, making it one of the most attractive addresses in South Kensington. The property in question was sold discreetly, off-market, to a private investor who had previously worked with us on a buy-to-let transaction. The sale was handled with precision and efficiency, securing the property for the buyer in this sought-after, cobbled enclave.

Let almost immediately

What truly sets this story apart is the speed and competitiveness of the letting that followed. The property was let almost immediately after completion, underscoring the strong demand for mews homes in the area.

A rapid letting process

As soon as the property was completed, Frankie Dickens from our team had already lined up viewings for the same day. The house attracted multiple offers from interested tenants, highlighting the deep pool of demand for such exclusive properties in central London.

Who were the tenants?

The tenants who secured the property were a professional couple relocating from outside of London. They were seeking a central home with character, and while initially open to various property styles, they quickly realised that a mews house offered something truly unique: privacy, charm, and a sense of belonging to a close-knit community. The space also catered to an essential factor in their move – a home for their dog, a non-negotiable part of their search.

Why mews living continues to appeal

The appeal of mews living is undeniable, and this case study is a prime example of why mews properties consistently outperform the market in attracting high-quality tenants. Mews houses offer a village-like atmosphere in the heart of Prime Central London, with front doors opening onto peaceful, cobbled streets.

Residents of Cornwall Mews South benefit from being just moments away from Gloucester Road and South Kensington, two of London’s most desirable locations. While the area offers easy access to top restaurants, cafés, cultural institutions, and transport connections, the mews itself feels like a serene retreat, away from the bustle of the city.
