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 row 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 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 very well maintained riverside home has been superbly converted from a substantial steel Admiralty Munitions Barge and is divided between two floors. The upper floor has been converted to provide a dining-sitting area with stunning views of the River Orwell. Below deck has been converted to provide a naturally lit, substantial open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area with a high ceiling There is a large master cabin, guest double cabin, bathroom with bath and shower, office, drying room, plenty of built in storage and full central heating.

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 and no other can be brought alongside. Mains water, electricity, and internet are connected. There will be no stamp duty to pay on purchase.

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

These boat details are subject to contract.
