A freehold mews house located inside a gated development in the centre of Shad Thames near Tower Bridge. WATCH THE VIDEO

The rarity of a mews house in this location cannot be overstated because this is one of only five that occupy a pretty, gated complex in the centre of the Shad Thames neighbourhood. Butlers and Colonial Wharf was created from a cluster of disused Victorian warehouses in 1999 and won The Evening Standard's best conversion of that year; with good reason because it is a beautiful blend of industrial and modern architecture. The mews is a terrace of five town houses that flank the central landscaped courtyard and have a pretty view of olive trees and fountains.

This house is the end of terrace, it spans three floors and opens onto a walled garden at the rear. The interior has been upgraded in recent years and is presented as a very smart, modern living space. There is very good storage and practicality; we particularly like the laundry room next to the kitchen. Perhaps the finest part of the house is to be found on the top floor - the master suite comprises a large bathroom, a dressing room, a barrelled ceiling and even french doors that open onto a roof terrace. Despite its freehold status, residents of the mews have the security of the gated complex and the benefit of a daytime concierge.

Shad Thames is located within a conservation area on the banks of the river Thames. It has for many years been known for its warehouse architecture, excellent restaurants and the famous cobbled street where gangways crisscross above it.
