New smart homes in Westminster's historic core: contemporary coach houses will alert you when fridge needs restocking

The Zone 1 smart homes boast Hyperoptic cabling, allowing control of heating and lighting - and alerts when the fridge needs re-stocking.
From £1,077,000: Ashburnham Mews is a redevelopment of an old council-owned street cleaning depot
David Spittles27 September 2016

Westminster’s historic core close to the Houses of Parliament is witnessing the biggest injection of new homes since the Edwardian mansion block boom a century ago.

The area, traditionally favoured by MPs and civil servants, is opening up to a wider public who have spotted this quiet neighbourhood at the centre of the capital.

Ashburnham Mews in Regency Street is a resourceful redevelopment of an old council-owned street cleaning depot, part of which has been retained.

Compact design includes a couple of coach houses tucked away in a quiet courtyard behind a gated driveway.

They feature Hyperoptic cabling, or super-fast fibre, that dispenses with the need for BT and allows control of heating and lighting — it also offers alerts when the fridge needs re-stocking and when the plants are in need of watering.

Underground parking is another bonus. Prices from £1,077,000. Call 020 7758 8444.
