Kings Parade Avenue

Three stories of accommodation stacked on a tight backland mews plot

This site once served as a stable  for the Georgian townhouse fronting Whiteladies road. The lane leading to it was restricted in its size and accessibility. Planning permission was successfully granted for a 3 storey dwelling that flipped the typical house typology to place the main living accommodation the top floor,  the bedrooms on the 1st floor and the ancilliary space on the ground floor. This intuitive response to a tight site ensures future occupants have a peaceful and spacious home without a sense of overbearingness - a common pitfall  of these enclosed mews type homes.
