This well-presented clinker houseboat offers compact, characterful living on Regent’s Canal with direct water views and generous external space. The vessel provides two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an inviting wheelhouse entrance that suits year‑round living or weekend retreats. A self-contained bow, well-equipped galley and cosy main living area with solid fuel stove create a warm, practical layout within 580 sq ft of internal space.
Outside, the plot is an unusual strength: a substantial, secluded wooded garden with office shed and hot tub area sits alongside the mooring, plus a traditional clinker rowboat is included. The site feels private and peaceful, with mature trees screening the outlook and easy towpath access. Transport links are excellent with King’s Cross and Angel within walking distance, and frequent buses to central London destinations.
Important practical points: the property is a specialist, non‑traditional tenure waterside asset with assignable mooring and approximately £16,990 per annum mooring charges. Internal ceiling heights are low and the cabin footprint is compact, so the accommodation is best suited to buyers comfortable with narrowboat living. Broadband speeds are very slow and local crime levels are above average — both factors to consider if you plan to work from home or prioritise on‑site security.
A survey is recommended to confirm berth length, services (water/electricity/sewage), and any mooring terms or lease arrangements. Overall this is a rare central London canal mooring that will appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive, outdoors‑focused lifestyle and good transport links, balanced against specialist costs and compact living constraints.
