New homes in a top location: mews flats for sale in "hideaway" in the heart of Kensington

Smart, smaller scale projects appeal to planners and locals in Kensington. This is the deal at One Brompton, a lovely Victorian corner building, formerly bedsits, that has been remodelled into 17 luxury flats behind the protected exterior in this Royal Borough.

Compared with the giant townhouses at The Boltons nearby, the homes are micro — mainly studios and one-bedroom flats.

But they are well designed, with bespoke space-efficient furniture, fixtures and fittings.

And they fill a gap in the Kensington market for buyers who want a lower-priced home in a top location.

A discreet off-street entrance along a mews provides a sense of “hideaway” in the Kensington heartland.

Thackeray Estates, a heritage-focused developer, is planning more such projects.

Prices start at £895,000. Call 020 7861 5483
