This £7,000 a month mews house is now among country's most eco-friendly homes

Cutting-edge: the house in Pavilion Road, Chelsea
Ben Morgan30 August 2017

A 19th Century Mews in one of London’s most sought after postcodes has become one of the most eco-friendly houses in the country.

The newly renovated Chelsea mews has been renovated with cutting edge energy efficent materials, including an air tight seal to block toxic fumes and pollution from wafting into the house using a mechanical ventilation system.

It is one of the first retro-fitted properties to achieve the PassivHaus standard for sustainability.

To achieve this standard a property must be found to have the highest ratings in energy efficency, simplistic design and an air tight interior.

It could cost as little as £20 to heat the property for a year but is on the rental market for more than £7,000 a month.

Developers Cadogan said the mews in Pavillion Road, behind Sloane Street, has ‘set a new precedent’ for older homes being renovated with modern heat efficent innovations.

Cadogan chief executive Hugh Seaborn said: “We will be closely monitoring its performance over the next 12 months – both in terms of energy efficiency and wellbeing benefits for its residents – before deciding whether to roll out these measures more widely within our residential portfolio.”

The property is on the Cadogan Estate and is available to rent from £1,795 per week (corr) for 1,636sqft of space. It includes an ensuite master bedroom, second bedroom, family room and garage across three floors.

It is also the first Cadogan home to be granted outstanding status by the BREEAM industry standard, which has only been granted to one per cent of refurbished properties.
