The house

Two bedroom sleeping up to 4 guests, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, in Bayswater. Bathurst Mews II is a delightful two-bedroom mews house in Paddington. Whether you are travelling on business or visiting the city for a family holiday, this charming abode offers a peaceful, comfortable retreat from the bustling streets outside. Just a short walk from the doorstep is Hyde Park, where you can enjoy scenic strolls and even a picnic if the sun is shining. Close by the mews are two riding stables.

The hoofbeats of horses on the cobbled streets can often be heard during the day - quite a lovely sound, and certainly something you don’t usually expect to hear in the city. The homeowner has created a warm and welcoming space that strikes a wonderful balance of classic and contemporary. Inside, a glass spiral staircase connects both levels of the mews house. On the lower level is an open-plan living and dining room, its modern amenities contrasted by the baroque paintings on the walls - a touch of traditional elegance.

Large windows allow the natural sunlight to pour through, creating a bright and airy room to unwind in before heading out to explore the city. The fireplace is perfect for cosying up around on cooler nights, as you sink into one of the comfy sofas or Chesterfield armchairs. When it’s time to get a good night’s rest, you have the choice of two bedroom suites. The master bedroom has a beautiful Antoinette bed and a private ensuite bathroom with a traditional clawfoot tub.

The second bedroom has a modern four-poster bed. A beautiful flower mural encompasses an entire wall, a bold contrast to the whitewashed walls and furnishings elsewhere. Between May and September a fan will be provided in all bedrooms.
