73 Thames Gems

Updated: Mar 9

Eight quirky “treats” on the Thames. Oh I'd have fun if I were an estate agent ...


1. Hampton: Overlooking the water works, and a stones throw from the river; lovely and private; comes with windows (obscured glass); nice bit of land with scope for garden; not overlooked; potential to extend on all sides, plus upwards and downwards; vacant possession.


2. Hampton: Bijou dwelling, perfect for self-isolation; porch recess; nice patio; not overlooked; yards from the river; potential to extend on three sides, plus upwards and downwards; vacant possession.


3. Hampton: Secluded dwelling in rural idyll; plenty of land; not overlooked; would suit a keen gardener; in need of some modernisation but buckets of potential.


4. Hampton Court: This delightful houseboat with en-suite and water feature nestles against the south bank of the Thames. An opportunity not to be missed. Priced for quick sale.


5. Hampton Court: Great chance for life on the river; a lick of paint and this longboat will make you the envy of all your friends; solar panels included, (not the bike!)


6. Kingston: Once in a lifetime chance to buy this unique, quirky and eye catching building known locally and affectionally as The Death Cap; wonderful views over the river, (especially from the elevated circular “balcony”); nice patio; endless potential; vacant possession.


7. Kingston: Abandoned project; blank canvas oozing potential; unrivalled river views; splendid water feature; garden needs some work; no chain. Under water, erm, offer.


8. Richmond: No, not the Thames plug. Nor is it the command module of an Apollo space rocket returned to earth. This hoopy red bubble is being floated at a competitive price - offers a novel

way of life; anchor included. Potential as an unusual Orbnb destination.


Numbered red arrows: Each delightful property in turn, travelling from Hampton to Richmond
