Enjoy a compact, contemporary riverside lifestyle at Bates Wharf with direct water access and wide picture windows that flood the open-plan living space with light. The houseboat’s well-specified kitchen and engineered wood floors give a durable, modern finish, while two decks extend living outdoors for relaxing or entertaining beside the Thames.
Built on a fully enclosed concrete pontoon to Eurocode standards, the craft has long design-life elements and a 12-month defects warranty. Practical highlights include two double bedrooms, a dual-access shower room and integrated Bosch/Blomberg appliances, making the layout efficient for downsizers or those seeking a low-maintenance second home.
Important practical points: mooring fees are substantial—£16,090 per annum (2025)—and tenure is listed as unknown, which may affect financing and running costs. The internal footprint is compact at around 500 sq ft; this suits buyers prioritising lifestyle and location over large internal space.
This property best fits buyers who want an attractive, turn-key floating home with strong riverside appeal and good transport links into central London, but who are comfortable with high ongoing mooring/management costs and the compact scale of living.
