London, from £1.4 million
Occupying the last significant river-fronting site on the north bank of the Thames between Chelsea and the City of London, the development at Chelsea Waterfront continues apace. Situated next to the Lots Road power station, the site has been designed by renowned architect Sir Terry Farrell and apartments throughout the 11½-acre development range from two bedrooms all the way up to luxury penthouses with far-reaching views over the Thames and the city beyond. Apartments in Tower West are ready to move into and everything you could possibly need is already on site, with underground parking, swimming pool, steam room, sauna, gym and spa as standard. The Lots Road station is being developed into a convenience hub, with bars, cafes and restaurants, meaning residents will have access to everything they need. ‘There’s been a big trend for retirees purchasing two- or three-bedroom apartments in the city, but this shouldn’t be surprising,’ says Robin Gevell, of Hutchison Property Group. ‘New-builds are cheaper to run, often have on-site amenities, concierges and are usually very well located so that you can enjoy the Arts and culture with ease.’ Savills & Knight Frank (020–7409 8756; 020–3411 4683;www.towerwestlondon.com)

Shhhhhh...
THERE is great delight to be had poring over the front pages of COUNTRY LIFE each week, dreaming of what life would be like in a Scottish castle (so reasonably priced, but do bear in mind the midges) or a townhouse in London’s Eaton Square (worth a king’s ransom, but, oh dear, the traffic) or perhaps that cottage in the Cotswolds (if you don’t mind standing next to Hollywood A-listers in the queue at Daylesford). The estate agent’s particulars will give you details of acreage, proximity to schools and railway stations, but never—no, never—an indication of noise levels.
