An Industrial Mews House with a Sebastian Cox deVOL Kitchen

This two-bedroom mews house is located in a former paint factory in Bermondsey, London. The house was transformed by Architecture for London, pairing exposed brick with honest materials like steel, oak, and stone, enhancing the industrial heritage of the building.

The house is situated at the end of the mews, making it feel very secluded and private. The glass and steel facade contrasts beautifully with the raw brick of neighboring houses.

Inside, the mews features an open-plan living room and kitchen on the ground floor, a second sitting room with a glass ceiling on the first floor, and two bedrooms.

Entry to the home is via glazed timber doors directly into the ground floor living space.

The living space is clearly divided into a sitting area and the kitchen. Large format stone concept tiles run underfoot, paired with exposed wooden beams, steel, and varied brickwork in the kitchen area, and textured plaster walls in the sitting corner.

A DEFRA-approved Charnwood log burner sits in the corner of the living room, adding a warm glow to the space in the evening.

The kitchen and dining area are situated under a suspended oak ceiling. The deVOL Sebastian Cox kitchen is paired with an induction stove from SMEG and a wooden shelf with brass brackets.

An oak staircase with steel rods leads you to the first floor, where you enter a second sitting area under a slanted glass ceiling.

The exposed brickwork continues on the first floor, which is painted with oak floorboards. The sliding windows offer a lovely view over the mews.

From the living room, sisal carpeting extends into the private rooms.

The home features two equally sized bedrooms. The master bedroom pairs exposed brick with soft pink walls. A skylight draws in natural light.

The second bedroom is fitted with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, and it is now used as a home office.

The bathroom features a Crittall-style glass screen and Moroccan pink tiles. The bespoke vanity is lit by brass wall lights and has Azezzo taps.

The shared courtyard garden is wonderfully green with a large maple tree in the center.

In the communal courtyard, you can still see the postal railway tracks embedded into the cobbled footpath, showing the history of this building.

The house is listed for £750,000 at The Modern House.
