Remember when gyms closed and everyone started working out at home? Well, turns out we might have been onto something. No ‘gym bros’ sweating buckets two feet away from you, no waiting half an hour to use a machine, no incessant blaring of Capital FM. Plus, we find that having your set-up in the next room is the best sort of motivation, especially in winter when gym-going means peeling yourself off the sofa in favour of the pitch black and freezing cold. These for-sale London properties all boast private gyms and wellness facilities for those looking to join the working (out) from home revolution.

Newfoundland, E14

Soaring 58 storeys above the River Thames in Canary Wharf, Newfoundland offers all the perks of a luxury home – without the commitment of buying. Managed by the Estate’s residential leasing arm, Vertus, Newfoundland is the tallest build-to-rent tower in London – resulting in spectacular views of Docklands to the east and the rest of the capital to the west and awards from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. While the architecture is impressive, the building also comes with numerous amenities including access to a lounge to relax with friends and family, a rooftop terrace, regular residents’ events, a self-service bar, a fully equipped gym, and even a screening room. Add to this Canary Wharf’s vast portfolio of shops, restaurants, and events, and you’ll rarely have to commute to other parts of the city for entertainment. The building offers studio apartments in addition to one-, two-, and three-bedroom flats.

Lyford Road, SW18

A major draw of this family home is that it directly overlooks Wandsworth Common, but this is far from its only virtue.

Oh, and a self-contained two-bedroom flat, a cinema room, and wellness facilities including a gym, sauna, and outdoor swimming pool. You enter to a hallway off which lies the formal and second reception rooms; the kitchen/dining room spans the width of the ground floor, while the kitchen is kitted out with granite surfaces and sleek units. The first floor is home to the principal suite and two further bedrooms, while the remaining three are on the second floor.

Derby Road, E9

This Victorian warehouse has been completely redesigned by Smith and Newton Architects, and oozes offbeat Hackney style. The triple-height reception area feels cavernous with 8.5-metre ceilings, and the sheer volume of glass which borders the space means that it is flooded with natural light. A feature staircase yields great views of the reception, which is dressed with oak herringbone flooring. The kitchen, meanwhile, boasts forest-green Silestone countertops. 4,700 square feet (across four floors) is more than enough to accommodate four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a gym, a sauna, and spa – the Derby Road property also possesses a guest suite, a utility room, a cloakroom, and a dining space with views to the roofless atrium.
