Vibrancy Meets Luxury at Townhouse Mews

With the popularity of property in London showing no signs of slowing, we consider what attracts people to traditional townhouses - the classic London home.

James Taylor of Private Property Group explains, "If a townhouse incorporates some of London's abundant vibrancy and has a story to tell, it can be a very enchanting hook for buyers, and more often than not will end up in a sale. Living in a house that is a conversation starter is a dream of many."

That is precisely what new development Townhouse Mews offers. The former recording studio originally created by Richard Branson for his Virgin record label has seen some of the worlds best artists honing their skills including; Queen, Coldplay, Elton John, Oasis, and Blur to name but a few. This has been retained within the building, with subtle notes from its past featured within the interior design.

The building has been sensitively refurbished into 12 bespoke townhouses in the heart of Shepherd's Bush. The homes are conveniently close to Goldhawk Road Underground Station and Shepherd's Bush Market, making it easy or residents to travel in and around London whilst providing them with the perfect city getaway.

As well as legacy, buyers are looking for an edge - something that will make their home stand out. This could be a touch of luxury, or a unique and unusual layout, both of which Townhouse Mews enjoys. Open plan spaces, mezzanine style elements and freestanding stairs combine together to create a level of finish that is clean, sharp and elegant.

James Taylor shares his experiences regarding what buyers class as important during their searches; "With the packed and built up nature of many parts of London, it can often feel quite cramped and industrial. If customers can find a spacious townhouse with generous amounts of outside space, it will be snapped up extremely quickly."

This criteria can be hard to incorporate into a multi-storey townhouse due to their diameter, but with progress in architectural and design techniques over the last decade, this is now much more achievable. Townhouse Mews utilises contemporary glass designs and open plan layouts to promote a spacious ambience. Built around a central glass courtyard, full-height light wells provide bright spaces, while design features such as vaulted ceilings, private courtyard gardens and terraces help to provide that vital spaciousness inside and out.
