Description
The refurbishment blends timeless craftsmanship with contemporary comfort. Highlights include a new inverter and high-capacity batteries for household appliances, smart-monitored solar panels, and a 70-litre oil tank powering an efficient marine diesel heating system capable of running for up to a week without electrical input. The exterior has been fully repainted, with new metal and wooden doors and windows, custom-made curtains and furnishings, a bespoke sofa, and a stylish modern kitchen with fitted cabinetry and a working oven. New boat fenders are included.
Powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM 352 diesel engine, the barge is equipped with a manually filled water tank system and an onboard generator to complement the solar setup. Heating is provided by a marine-grade diesel heater and water boiler, both in good working order.
The vessel operates under a Continuous Cruiser Licence and does not have a fixed mooring, though potential options are available through the Canal & River Trust, offering flexibility for relocation.
Living on the water offers a rare and enchanting lifestyle: tranquil mornings on deck, the gentle movement of the canal, and ever-changing reflections of light and sky. Little Venice provides a charming backdrop of waterside cafés, quiet towpaths, and a welcoming boating community, making every day feel both peaceful and full of possibility.
