London: from £260,000 A former Victorian pumping station in Hammersmith, London SW7, has been transformed into a striking apartment scheme.

Fifteen studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses are being launched by Gunne New Homes Overseas in conjunction with Hamptons International with prices from £260,000 (€379,346).

Located between Great West Road and the River Thames, the Pumphouse is an eyecatching development. The original pumphouse redbrick façade and grand arched windows have been retained. Victorian artifacts, including pressure valves, tools and water pressure dials, are merged with stone flooring and stainless steel to create a vintage--cum-contemporary look.

Studio apartments of 47 sq m (501 sq ft) are priced at £260,000 (€379,346) while one-bed apartments cost £275,000 (€405,362) for 51.6 sq m (555 sq ft) up to £360,000 (€525,201) for apartments of 73 sq m (783 sq ft).

Two-bed apartments cost from £370,000 (€542,584) for units measuring 72.6 sq m (781 sq ft) up to £490,000 (€714,885) for apartments measuring 105 sq m (1,130 sq ft).

A car-parking space is £15,000 ( €21,885) extra with each unit.

Integrated white kitchen goods, floor tiling, oak laminate floors in the kitchens and stylish chrome fittings in the bathrooms come as standard with all units.

All apartments are fitted with video entry phones and concierge services.

Residents have access to a private entrance to the Thames walk and communal landscaped gardens.

The agents suggest one-bedroom apartments in this area of London can command a weekly rent of £275 (€400) and two-roomed apartments £350 (€510) a week.

The scheme is served by a number of London underground stations including Hammersmith, Ravenscourt Park and Stamford Bridge.
