Discover a compact, newly renovated narrowboat moored in Little Venice — an affordable pied-à-terre minutes from Warwick Avenue. Offered freehold with a permanent mooring and electrical connection, the boat is ready to use as a weekend retreat or a central London base without the cost of a conventional flat.
The interior is efficiently laid out with an open-plan kitchen/living area, a small bedroom and a shower room. Clever storage and modern finishes maximise the usable space, but ceiling heights and room sizes are limited so this suits minimalist living or occasional city stays rather than full-time family use.
The mooring sits behind a secure gated entrance on Maida Avenue, within easy walking distance of cafes, shops and transport links. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are excellent, making remote working possible from a unique waterside setting.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the houseboat is compact with low ceilings and will not suit anyone needing generous interior space. The local area records higher crime levels, so buyers should consider security needs and factor in ongoing boat maintenance. For someone seeking a distinctive, well-priced central London base and prepared for small-space living, this offers real value compared with conventional flats.
