1 bedroom houseboat for sale

A 62 foot wide beam Dutch Barge recently refurbished and offered for sale on a secure leased mooring with the added benefit of a Freehold garden plot with vehicle access located on the Grand Union Canal.

We are delighted to be offering for sale this newly refurbished wide beam Dutch Barge measuring 62ft long and 11 ft wide located on an idyllic part of the Grand Union Canal having a mooring agreement granted by the Canal and River Trust ( currently £388.84 pm). The vessel itself has been the subject of extensive renovation works creating a large living and combined  kitchen with a double aspect and butterfly hatch sky light, making for a bright space. From the lounge is access to the bathroom with standard bath, the double bedroom also has a double aspect and leads through to a room suitable for office space or a dining area. From here are steps leading upto the wheel house. 

The engine room housing the lister 3 cylinder engine is assessed from an exterior hatch with ladder into the room. 

The exterior of the vessel has been painted in a traditional style two tone colour scheme  with the gunwale giving access all around the vessel for maintenance and general ease of access. There is a collapsible wheel house for ease of cruising should this be required. 

The last out of water survey was conducted in 2021 and the current boat safety certificate runs until 2026 

As part of the purchase is a well screened garden plot backing onto Cowley Lake and nature reserve. There are a number of outbuildings including a workshop, summer house, store and garden shed all with power. Within the grounds is a sited caravan and awning that is optional to come with this sale. Unlike a number of the moorings here, there is vehicular access and parking for this garden plot. 

The motorway networks of the M4 and M40 are easily accessed as are the Elizabeth Tube Line and British Rail services serving London. 

There is no onward chain and early viewing is highly recommended.
