Luxury two-storey home has £6k bath, underfloor heating and great views of the Thames – but wait until you see the outside
Buyers will probably want to take a look at the outside of this three-bedroom Battersea home before taking the plunge.
THIS Battersea home has recently been renovated, boasting sweeping river views, a sun deck and a £6,000 bathtub, and is now worth £1.1million... but wait until you see the exterior.
Buyers will have the chance to snap up the newly refurbished property which has a reception area, three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, but if you're looking for a driveway or a back garden then this is not the place for you.
The home is located in Plantation Wharf in Battersea, south west London, and is a stone's throw from fashionable Chelsea and the green space of Battersea Park.
Potential buyers will not be tied down, however, as the luxury home has a working engine and navigation equipment.
The 30m barge, which offers 1,370 sq ft of living space, has been expertly refurbished with no expenses spared across an 18-month project to include underfloor heating, brand new portholes and high-quality engineered timber flooring throughout.
The barge is within easy reach of the local amenities of Old York Road in Wandsworth and Northcote Road in Clapham, as well as transport links from Wandsworth Town or Clapham Junction Stations as well as the Thames Clipper River Taxi which stops at Plantation Wharf Pier.
Upstairs, the first of two reception areas leads out onto an huge sun deck, perfect for entertaining and sunbathing.
The master bedroom is located at the back of the top deck and is complete with fitted storage and a luxurious en-suite shower room, but exhibitionists have the chance to bare all in a striking £6,000 glass bath tub in the main bathroom.
The main living space and kitchen are open plan, with an island for casual dining, while there is ample space for more formal dining within the downstairs living space.
There are two further bedrooms on the lower deck – one has its own en-suite and the third bedroom could make a children’s bedroom or home office.
Sales and Lettings Manager at Fine & Country Fulham, Charles Eddlestone, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer this property for sale.
“Not only is it a wonderful opportunity to sell a houseboat that has been painstakingly renovated by a dedicated owner, but because houseboats have become more than a short-term trend due to the current market.

“Houseboats provide a wonderful opportunity to live life on the Thames and have waterside living as a fraction of what it would cost to live in a riverside development.
“This houseboat is unique in that one is able to get a residential mortgage due to its 123-year leasehold mooring.
“It therefore becomes a viable option and a great alternative in a market where space in central London is so valued.”
