Description

This property presents an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in a unique riverside retreat on the coveted Taggs Island. The residence, a two-storey houseboat constructed in 1981, boasts a spacious layout across its two levels, featuring an expansive reception room that seamlessly integrates with the kitchen. Here, stunning views of the river can be enjoyed through large windows that open onto a charming veranda, perfect for soaking in the picturesque surroundings. With four bedrooms, including one that provides access to a roof terrace, and two bathrooms, this houseboat offers ample accommodation. While it requires renovation to bring it up to modern standards, the potential is significant—for either refurbishment or for creating a brand-new floating home tailored to your preferences. The surrounding garden area enhances the appeal of this property, offering ample space for outdoor entertaining amidst established trees and shrubs that provide privacy. Additionally, an allocated parking space ensures convenience. This houseboat comes with a leasehold arrangement for the land and mooring; there are 55 years remaining on the lease with opportunities for extension through negotiations with the freeholder. A monthly maintenance charge of approximately £150 covers communal upkeep and infrastructure on the island. Overall, this property not only represents a distinctive living experience but also stands as an attractive investment opportunity in a sought-after location.
