Stepping onto this design-led houseboat, you’ll soon see why it was featured on Channel 4’s ‘George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.’ Deceptively large and carefully styled, you’d hardly know you were on a houseboat at all – if it weren’t for the river just outside. The furnished deck is a definite highlight, equipped with outdoor seating and a fire pit. But thanks to bi-fold doors and enormous porthole windows, the indoors blends seamlessly with its surroundings. A skylight keeps things bright even on the lower level, and luxurious extras like a spa tub, underfloor heating and Alexa-controlled blinds and lighting ensure all comforts are provided. While you could easily while away all day taking in the river views, ramp up the action with a visit to Thorpe Park (within walking distance) or take part in some water sports on nearby Thorpe Lake.

About Hampton

Hampton (whose name covers the three villages of Hampton, Hampton Wick and Hampton Hill) is a charming residential suburb in south west London just to the west of Bushy Park, home to the magnificent Hampton Court Palace. The park, with its mile-long Chestnut Avenue created by Sir Christopher Wren, its golden 17th-century Diana Fountain, restored 18th-century cascade and water garden, and herds of deer, is the second-largest of London’s eight Royal Parks after Richmond. You'll mainly be rubbing shoulders with affluent young families who moved away from central London in search of green spaces and a slower pace of life.
