Westminster Hall Mews, Foxrock, is a 100-year-old, two-bedroom mews tucked away behind remote control security gates on Westminster Road. Once part of the stable block attached to a large period home, the semi-detached house has been revamped since it last came on the market two years ago. It has new flooring throughout, revamped kitchen and bathroom, new central heating and a landscaped rear patio.

The contrast between the mellow exterior and modern minimalist interior is striking and works extremely well. Jackson Stops is looking for offers in excess of £340,000 in a private treaty sale.

The 1,100 sq ft house would suit a retired couple trading down in the area, or an affluent young couple or individual starting out and looking for a smart new home in an old setting.

The front of the house has its own gravel area with car-parking space, the exterior softened by shrubs and greenery.

Inside, a small hall leads into a smart living/dining room with an unusual raised open hearth topped with a wooden mantelpiece. The modern Chinese slate floor used throughout the ground floor contrasts beautifully with the recessed period windows with deep low sills which light up the front and rear of the livingroom.

A cottage-style, split-level, white panelled door leads to a rectangular working kitchen. This has wood-panelled cupboards painted cream along one wall, finished with soft grey worktops, and similar floor cupboards on the facing wall. A new stainless-steel Smeg hob, oven and extra fan is included in the sale.

The kitchen door opens to an 85-ft long west facing back garden which has an L-shaped patio and a raised garden. A door at the far end of the living room leads to a fully tiled bathroom. The colour scheme is pale green, the sanitary ware is in pale olive and the bath has white wood panelling.

A front-facing bedroom has an original polished pine floor, and a fitted wood panelled wardrobe. A second room has similar original flooring and wardrobe and could serve as a second bedroom or home office.
