Mews house

A mews is a row or courtyard of stables and carriage houses with living spaces above them, built behind large city houses. The word mews comes from the Royal Mews in London, England.[1][2][3]

Originally, a mews meant a row of stables and coach houses with living quarters above, in a paved yard behind large London houses during the 17th and 18th centuries.[4] Today, many mews stables have been turned into houses.
