Broker's Comments

This historic launch is now available for sale with a prime leisure mooring in St Katharine Docks in central London.

Built in 1945 and registered as a National Historic Vessel, this boat has been painstakingly converted into a fine houseboat which would make an ideal floating home for an individual or couple who want great transport links to the City.

The interior is full of light and everything is finished to a high spec meaning this is a great place to sit and look out across the marina. There is a good sized double cabin with ensuite heads and shower. The galley has been newly fitted too and leads up to a brilliant seating/dining area at the stern that also has large windows.

The leisure mooring is transferable to the new owner on payment of a 1% transfer fee. Current mooring fees are roughly £15,000 p.a.
