The Dutch House, Strand on the Green
Seen from the muddy Thames foreshore, at low tide. This house catches the eye because of its shutters, painted in the Dutch manner with a split-diamond design. As with a few other houses along Strand on the Green, the gable, too, is in the Dutch style, with convex and concave curves. The shutter decoration is often to be seen in Holland, on older buildings - but the colours are almost always red and white - so why, I wonder, did the owners of this house choose blue ?
To see how close the river can come to the Dutch House at high tide see:

Tunnel Cottage at Strand-on-the-Green
The riverfront at Strand-on-the-Green consists of a footpath running along the bank of the River Thames. It is overlooked by fine 18th-century houses and a collection of riverside pubs, and as it is on the tideway is regularly flooded by the river, especially when high tide combines with heavy flow from upriver as here in November 2012. The entrance of all the properties is raised above the path so that the view of the river is not spoiled. This is one of the passageways leading from Thames Road to the riverside footpath. The flooded river was literally on the other side of Tunnel Cottage.

Steps to front door along the riverfront at Strand-on-the-Green
The riverfront at Strand-on-the-Green consists of a footpath running along the bank of the River Thames. It is overlooked by fine 18th-century houses and a collection of riverside pubs, and as it is on the tideway is regularly flooded by the river, especially when high tide combines with heavy flow from upriver as here in November 2012. The entrance of all the properties is raised above the path so that the view of the river is not spoiled. This is a typical example. In some cases, however, this has left rather strange effects such as front doors which are only four feet high - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2123728
