A Grade 2 listed, Gothic architectural statement home with a cool maximalist interior of nearly 2000 sq ft.
Hidden away within a gated mews, this period, architectural gem of a house sits at the centre of a former a Sunday school built around 1878 and is everything you‘d expect or want from a building of this period.
Beyond the communal courtyard and your private parking space, the chunky wooden front door below warm, arched brickwork opens straight into a sizeable kitchen with a very usable layout. The bulk of the floor and wall units hug the edge of the room while a hefty timber work surface in the middle doubles as a breakfast bar.
This house almost feels like two properties in one, and heading down the stairs from the kitchen lobby you arrive at what feels like a self-contained apartment. In fact, its a fourth bedroom with barrel vaulted ceilings and an ensuite, all whitewashed with a minimalist feel (in contrast to the decadent look of the upper floors). Given the sense of privacy of this floor within the layout of building, it works supremely well if you‘re looking to accommodate an older relative or teenager.
A mixture of quarry tiles and rustic wood flooring cover the main reception, pairing beautifully with large leaded windows and the room‘s notable volume from the exceptionally high ceilings. A door steps out to a private and secluded wrap-around terrace ensuring tranquility and sunshine at pretty much any time of the day.
Back inside, head up the ornate staircase with honest furrows worn into every concrete step and Gothic arched windows that flood the landing with natural light.
There are two very sizeable bedrooms on this level, both with vaulted, beamed ceilings and some beautiful exposed brickwork with the principle room having a private en-suit.
Separating the two bedrooms is a generous bathroom with a huge angled bath tub and walls fully clad with black tiling, all very befitting of a Gothic home.
The final flight of stairs from the top landing heads up to another bedroom in the eaves - and the perfect spot to add a home office or guest room if required.
Rush Common Mews, while being a very quiet and out-of-the way kind of place, is actually really well placed for easy access to Brixton and Streatham, sitting midway between these two desirable urban hubs. There are lots of coffee shops, bars, gastro pubs and restaurants to choose from, and some excellent transport links as well.
Walk from the mews to the main junction of Brixton Hill and Streatham Hill, then turn right for Brixton‘s rail and underground stations (Victoria Line), or turn left for Streatham Hill station with Southern trains to Victoria and London Bridge.
