This compact 1‑bed houseboat offers a peaceful waterfront lifestyle at Hampton Hall Farm, set beside open farmland and just 0.9 miles from Rickmansworth Station (Metropolitan Line). The open-plan living area, single bedroom with en‑suite and separate lobby make efficient use of the 419 sq ft internal area, giving a cosy, low‑maintenance home or weekend retreat.
Outside space is a genuine asset: a private shed, a sizeable deck and a patio provide room for dining, socialising and storing gear. The mooring sits within a fully residential community with residents’ parking, communal bin stores and a nearby post store, so everyday practicalities are covered.
Running costs are relatively low — council tax in Band A and mooring fees around £185 per month — but note the ownership is a licence agreement (non‑traditional tenure), not freehold or leasehold. There is a medium flood risk to the site; buyers should factor in insurance and potential flood-related maintenance.
Interior character is rustic and compact, with wooden panelling, exposed beams and a wood‑burning stove in places. Ceiling heights in some rooms are lower than standard, so the layout suits someone comfortable with small, cosy spaces rather than a conventional house. Broadband and mobile signals are average in the area.
