charming
3-story house is on a quiet mews just off Eccleston Street and two
blocks from the King's Road.
A mews is a small narrow lane, usually cobblestoned, where horses and carriages used to be sheltered. They are behind larger houses. Mews are quiet areas with much charm and atmosphere. Mews houses are now highly prized. |

interesting art and objets d'art. |

Walk
through
the dining room into the bright modern kitchen. It is sleek and
up-to-the minute. It has glass-fronted cupboards and elegant marble
counter tops. There's a large refrigerator/freezer, a stainless steel
oven and hood, a 6-burner stove, a dishwasher, a built-in microwave and
a built-in cappuccino machine! There is a sound system and a TV.
The large window over the sink lets in lots of light. |

A small, nice guest powder room is
tucked under the stairs that lead up to the next level. The
washer/dryer is in a cupboard in the powder room. The sitting room is upstairs. It's a large and gracious room that has two comfortable sofas and two easy chairs, an upholstered ottoman, a wall of books, a gas fireplace, an Oriental rug over beige carpet. Art and personal touches create a cozy feeling. There is a flat-screen TV, a DVD player and a CD player. Beautiful red and gold drapes dress the tall windows that look out onto the mews. French doors open onto a tiny balcony. A small alcove has a bay window where a red sofa provides a nice place for afternoon reading. |

| Up a more stairs, a low door opens onto
a roof terrace. There's a small refrigerator just inside the door
and a cupboard that holds a dining service for 8. The terrace has
many potted plants and outdoor furniture, including a dining
table. It has views of roof tops and chimneys. It is a green
oasis - even in winter when we took these photos. Heating and electricity are extra, charged at cost by meter readings. A security deposit of £350 is held by credit card until after departure. We regret that this house is not suitable for children under 10. |
