Thamesfield House, dates to the late 18th century and is noted within the local archives, as being originally commissioned by an affluent local merchant, for his family. It has been constructed to the classic Georgian symmetrical design, with an impressive flight of steps leading up to the Doric portico entrance porch and wide bay windows on the first floor. It was sympathetically converted in 2008 to form five luxury apartments each with its own character, blending its period features with contemporary design. Apartment 5 occupies the whole of the second floor, extending to 1117 square feet with the principal rooms enjoying panoramic southerly views over light woodland opposite, the picturesque Halliford Bend, of the river Thames to the east and Manor Park to the west. The double aspect living room has a lovely light and airy feel and being generously proportioned lends itself to the easy placement of large pieces of furniture. Adjoining is the kitchen that has been comprehensive fitted and equipped with integrated appliances. There are two large double bedrooms, the main being double aspect with a well-appointed ensuite. The main bathroom has also been finished to a high standard and provision has been made for laundry appliances. The landscaped and neatly kept communal gardens are tucked away behind a gate and are a little oasis to sit and enjoy the sun.

Further noteworthy features are that each of the five apartments has a sizeable allocated storage area within the cellar. This is secure, dry, has a power supply and has ample headroom. The residents have acquired the Freehold and set up their own management company, enabling greater control over the finances and running of the building. As part of this acquisition, the 3 principal apartments have 2 allocated parking spaces with additional visitor spaces.


The landscaped and neatly kept communal gardens are set behind an old stock brick wall and tucked away behind a gate. They are a little oasis to sit and enjoy the sun with open westerly and southerly aspects. They are mainly laid to lawn with established beds bordered by box hedging and inset with mature trees. To the front of the house are lavender beds, clipped hedging and steps rising to the portico entrance.
