Set on a transferable CRT mooring in Ham Wharf, this 55ft steel houseboat offers contemporary waterside living with notable outdoor space. The open-plan reception and kitchen are bright and practical, and two bedrooms are arranged for privacy. Two entertainment decks substantially extend the living area, ideal for socialising or peaceful riverside relaxation. An adjacent off-street parking space is included.
Ownership comes with practical costs and commitments: the mooring is run by the Ham Wharf Mooring Co‑Operative so buyers take a share and participate in management. Annual running costs include mooring charges (approx. £6,420 pa), CRT licence, insurance and council tax. Houseboats are generally not mortgageable in the conventional way—cash buyers or specialist lending only.
Built in 1999 of steel construction, the boat presents as well-appointed with integrated kitchen appliances and a quality-fitted bathroom. The interior is contemporary with clean lines and a wood-burning stove in the living area. The property sits in an inner-city, constrained neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to local shops, pubs and transport.
Important practical considerations: the mooring lies in a high flood-risk zone and the boat is on a non-traditional tenure; prospective buyers should factor insurance, CRT licence conditions and co-op obligations into their decision. The setting suits someone seeking a distinctive, low-footprint home or a niche riverside investment, comfortable with co-operative management and the specific responsibilities of floating living.
