Property Description
This substantial four-bedroom mews house (2,105 sq ft) was built in 1988 to a design by the architects Sean Madigan and Stephen Donald, and is an outstanding example of the architecture of the era. It is located on the ever-popular Murray Mews, in the Camden Square Conservation Area. In recent years, the house has been extended to create further internal space on the first floor.
Accommodation comprises four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large reception room, a dining area, play room and a garage. The house has plenty of outside space, with a patio garden at the rear and a roof terrace, so there is always a sunny spot for sitting out.
Hailed in the architectural press as an early example of the luxury mews house, the property was constructed to a very high standard. It has a number of fine details, including a curved bay window overlooking the garden on the ground floor, a hollowed-out concrete pillar that runs through the core of the interior, and door furniture by Jasper Morrison. There is also a two-storey curved window with acid-etched glass in a chevron pattern, designed by Ray Bradley. The house has been built using recycled London stock bricks, with cubist forms and geometric metalwork. It was the subject of a large feature in the riba Journal shortly after it was built (see the History section).
Murray Mews is a quiet cobbled street just off Camden Square. The house is approximately equidistant between the Underground stations at Camden Town (Northern Line), Kentish Town (Northern Line) and Caledonian Road (Piccadilly Line). Camden Road train station is close at hand, and there are Overground services from Kentish Town and Caledonian Road. The house is also well placed for access to the Eurostar terminal at King’s Cross.
Murray Mews is within the catchment area of Camden School for Girls. As well as this property, it contains a number of other outstanding modern houses by well-known architects, including Tom Kay and Team 4 (Richard Rogers and Norman Foster’s original practice). The mews has always been particularly popular with architects.
