Excellent entertaining potential but limited internal storage
A distinctive former Dutch eel catcher converted into a 2-bedroom, 2-bath floating home set on a wide river frontage in Hampton. The boat offers an open-plan 19ft lounge-kitchen with large skylights and a teak deck providing direct river views and excellent entertaining space. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite and a mezzanine double provides flexible sleeping or studio accommodation.
This is a renovation opportunity: the vessel needs finishing works to complete its transformation into a comfortable permanent or weekend home. Interiors are compact with low ceilings and cabin-style proportions; the property’s 629 sq ft footprint is efficiently arranged but will suit buyers comfortable with narrowboat/houseboat living and bespoke marine maintenance.
Important practical considerations: the property is moored and classed as non-traditional tenure, with a high flooding risk. Ongoing upkeep, potential mooring fees, and marine-specific repairs should be factored into running costs. For buyers seeking something unique on the water, this offers strong riverside appeal and clear scope to add value once renovated.
