Buy of the week
Banish your winter blues and look forward to sunny days aboard the Regatta, a seven-berth barge, docked in a prime position at Chiswick Pier, W4.
Views across the river to the Leg O'Mutton bird sanctuary can be enjoyed from the 40ft lounge deck, which has an original anchor windlass and ample space for patio tables and chairs.
Below deck, a dual-aspect saloon warmed by a solid-fuel stove is panelled in cherrywood and incorporates an open-plan kitchen fitted with integrated appliances and a Belfast sink.
A large front saloon is lit by six porthole windows and a colourful stained-glass skylight depicting St Francis of Assisi.
Three further cabins, two en-suite, provide extra sleeping space and the main bathroom has the luxury of a full-sized bath.
Mooring rights include a dedicated parking space and a secure storage unit. Chiswick House Grounds and Hogarth House are a stroll away.
Foxtons (020 8996 6000) is looking for offers of £350,000.
