Broker's Comments

This houseboat is located in a prime location in a designated 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty' with stunning river views. She is set at the start of a community of houseboats on the tidal River Orwell, in a hamlet 15 minutes from Ipswich and 1 hour to London by train.

The location is a haven for sailors, artists, and visitors and is footsteps away from National Trust Woodlands with stunning river walks. Living in the peace and tranquility in this location, you can view the seasonal comings and goings of the river, birds, and wildlife on your doorstep. It is also only a very short walk to a famous waterside pub and restaurant.

This well-maintained riverside home has been converted from a steel barge and is divided between two floors. The upper floor has been converted to provide a sitting /office area along with a separate kitchen/dining and utility room and shower
The below deck has been converted to provide a large master cabin with dressing room, a guest double cabin, bathroom with bath, along with a further two cabins/storage rooms yet to be converted.

No mooring fees are payable and it has full Local Authority Planning Permission to be located here. It is at the start of the designated houseboat area in the local District Council Plan. Mains water, electricity, and internet are connected. There will be no stamp duty to pay on purchase. A recently completed survey has highlighted that there is some remedial work needed on the hull, which can be completed in situ, and this is reflected in the asking price.

Early viewing is recommended as houseboats at this location are rarely for sale.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
