Property types

Mews House

A mews house is a smaller property traditionally associated with the service lanes behind larger townhouses, often originating as stables, coach houses or ancillary accommodation.

Mews properties form a distinctive part of Edinburgh’s historic urban fabric, particularly around the New Town and other areas containing larger Georgian and Victorian townhouses.

Many originated as stables, coach houses or service buildings before being converted into residential accommodation. Their smaller footprint and historic construction can result in unusual layouts, roof forms and architectural details.

Renovation often focuses on making efficient use of limited space, improving natural light and integrating contemporary kitchens, bathrooms and storage while respecting the character of the original building.
