Bricks and water
On one of the prettiest stretches of London’s riverside, this light-bathed two-bedroom apartment in Hammersmith covers almost 900 sq ft and is converted from a glorious Thames Water pumping station.
The contrast between the iconic red brick Edwardian exterior and the sharp lines and contemporary finishes inside couldn’t be more stark, or more enthralling, with massive full-height windows showering the interior with natural daylight.
Outside, the private terrace wraps around two sides and offers a stylish haven from sunrise to sunset, perfect for friends and food or blissful me-time. The building also has private access directly onto the Thames Path for short riverside strolls to some excellent local pubs.

Material differences
A union of Scandi styling and industrial aesthetics filters through this 754 sq ft two-bedroom lateral apartment overlooking Hackney City Farm and Haggerston Park, close to London Fields.
A sensual experience from beginning to end, the list of materials oozes artisanal flair including natural rubber flooring throughout in a polished-Terrazzo finish, the soft peachy hues of polished plaster walls, and gorgeous hand-crafted cabinetry in cherry wood veneer.Â
Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, every window has a green and leafy outlook, and the 23 ft open-plan living room spills out through full-width sliding doors to a spacious all-weather balcony.

Floating paradise
As you open the gate to Persevere, you’ll gasp in wonder at how something like this can be here – a floating home with a freehold mooring and a quarter of an acre of land on a creek near Faversham in Kent.
Inside, across 1,500 sq ft (140 m²), the interior centres on a vast open-plan living space where large full-height windows provide enchanting views outside. Further back are two double bedrooms, both opening onto a large deck and verdant gardens.
The structure will support an extra floor with roof terraces above, perhaps creating separate units. Meanwhile, there’s enough land to build a pair of cottages, subject to consent). So it’s easy to imagine future financial freedom with either proceeds from sales, or a lifetime income from holiday lets or long-term rentals.
