DUNDEE WHARF, 100 THREE COLT STREET, E14
Price: £1.2m

The dual-aspect living room is ideal for entertaining, as is the terrace. The apartment also benefits from secure car parking, 24-hour concierge facilities and gym facilities within the building.

CRAVEN HILL MEWS, BAYSWATER, W2

This two-bedroom mews house near Paddington would suit anyone looking for a bit of peace and quiet but who wants to remain close to the City – 14 Crossrail trains an hour will run from Paddington to Liverpool Street.

Inside, the property could do with some updating but this will certainly add value to the house.
