Mayfair magic

Houses in Mayfair have risen 25 per cent in price over the past 15 months, according to Savills' residential research department. With demand and affordability so high and supply so low, there is no sign of things slowing down.

'Bellevue Place is well-named. It is a cul-de-sac with a paved pathway leading to the far end, under a creeper covered wall. The cottages are early 19th century, and have true cottage gardens fenced with wooden rails.
