Broker's Comments

Now priced for quick sale as the owners have the opportunity to emigrate at short notice. Reasonable offers on the asking price will be considered.

This is a huge boat with huge potential. The current owners have started the restoration process but in many respects, this is a real 'blank canvas' and, for someone with imagination and an eye for design, could make a stunning home.

With the plumbing, electricity and heating systems already partially installed, it would be perfectly feasible for the new owners to live aboard the boat whilst the renovation work is being completed. She is on a secure and cost effective riverside mooring in east London, close to shops and transport links (District Line nearby and mainline train 15 mins to Fenchurch Street).

These boat details are subject to contract.
