Description
2-9 King's Mews is a mews building, now used as dwellings over garages, dating from around 1883 and altered in the early 20th century. It is constructed of yellow stock bricks, with brick quoins and moulded brick and stone dressings. The roofs are hipped and covered with slate and bitumen, featuring overhanging eaves supported by bracket cornices. Tall brick stacks with moulded caps rise from the eaves on the facade, flanking a first-floor window on each block. The building is arranged in a U-plan, with an entrance to the yard closed by an archway. Notably, No.1 King's Mews is also known as No.35 Third Avenue.
The entrance blocks were originally identical, with the southern block being the least altered. It is two storeys high with three bays, a central first-floor window that has been renewed with a mid-20th century metal oriel below a gable top, and a ground floor featuring a three-bay segmental-headed blind arcade with a keystone and a continuous entablature. The northern range retains its original first-floor window but has had early 20th-century many-paned sash windows inserted in the northern two bays, along with a half-glazed door.
The blocks are linked by a two-storey scroll-headed archway, which includes a moulded cornice and string, decorative brick panels at the first-floor level, quoins, and a moulded entablature above a round-arched opening, with an inserted 20th-century doorway to the right. Some original sash windows and doors still exist in the mews. This mews block is unique for having an archway entrance, suggesting that it is unlikely any of the other mews were originally built with such an impressive entranceway.
