Decorating Ebury Mews

Ebury Mews is a well-preserved cobbled mews running parallel to Ebury Street in the heart of Belgravia, originally developed as stable accommodation for the grand townhouses of the Grosvenor Estate in the early nineteenth century. The mews has been sensitively converted into desirable residential properties that retain their original carriage-house proportions, stock brick facades, and timber-boarded garage doors. The intimate scale and discreet position of Ebury Mews within the Belgravia Conservation Area have helped preserve its authentic character.

The unpainted stock brick and rendered upper storeys of Ebury Mews properties require mineral-based paint systems that allow the masonry to breathe and resist London's damp climate. Timber garage doors and window joinery benefit from a linseed oil primer system to maximise longevity and maintain the traditional appearance required by the conservation area.
