Step aboard this thoughtfully finished 70ft house boat on Ash Island and find a compact, high-spec home designed for comfortable waterside living. The open-plan living space is bright and warm thanks to a large double-glazed skylight, oak joinery, a diesel stove and a 42" flat-screen TV — all arranged to maximise usable space and storage. The L-shaped kitchen has granite/quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a stylish Belfast sink, making day-to-day life feel more like an apartment than a boat.
Sleeping accommodation includes a bow-positioned master suite with king-sized bed, generous storage and a back-to-back wardrobe with a mounted TV. A centrally located guest bedroom comfortably fits a double bed and provides easy circulation — an uncommon convenience on narrowboats. The bathroom is notably large for a boat, featuring both a full-sized bath and separate shower, oak-effect flooring and underfloor heating for added comfort.
Outside, the generous stern deck is set up for year-round use with wraparound seating, integrated storage, deck lighting and a retractable fitted cover. The deck’s non-slip finish (option for Tek-Dek) and lockable storage make it practical for entertaining or relaxed mooring life. The boat’s size and layout suit someone wanting a low-maintenance riverside home with strong lifestyle appeal.
Important practical points: the property carries a high flood risk and is on non-traditional tenure, which affects insurance and mortgage options. Broadband speeds are very slow and heating relies in part on a diesel stove, which has fuel, ventilation and emissions considerations. These factors suit buyers who prioritise location, style and waterside living and who are comfortable with specialist insurance and utilities arrangements.
