She is an athlete with the world at her feet but it looks as if Britain’s 800 and 1500m leading lady is going to hang her up running shoes and become a property magnate instead.

Sources in the housing market have suggested that “Kelly Holmes” could soon become synonymous with quality residences for professional women.

“It’s an attractive proposition” said one agent “capitalising on Kelly’s gold and her feminity is a marketers dream and of course it’s not the first time that people have changed direction to move into the exciting of property.”

Aside from Kelly Holmes, other famous property magnates include:

*Eamon Holmes – big in Ireland apprantly
*St George – slayed a dragon then build St George’s Wharf by the MI6 Building
*Syd “Barratt Homes” – the former Pink Floyder insists on calling all his properties Dawn and having a piper at the gates (which residents claim can be a little annoying apparantly)

It might make more sense for Kelly to open her own chain of gyms but sadly Sherlock “Holmes Place” beat her to it.
