Decorating Ennismore Mews

Ennismore Mews is a handsome residential mews running south from Ennismore Gardens in Knightsbridge, its converted Victorian stable buildings clustered around a cobbled lane that retains much of its original character. The mews houses are predominantly two storeys, with rendered and painted facades, original arched stable openings adapted for modern use, and window boxes providing seasonal colour. Proximity to Ennismore Gardens and the Russian Orthodox Cathedral makes this one of the most elegant mews addresses in Knightsbridge.

Ennismore Mews properties present the typical mews challenge of managing render adhesion on former stable buildings, where rising damp can affect base courses and compromise paint longevity. Specialist breathable masonry paint systems and tanking treatment at low level are recommended, alongside careful colour co-ordination with the estate palette.
