Access is via a secure remote-controlled entry system onto the private jetty. The boat features a wheelhouse, which offers a versatile space ideal for use as a home office, study, or additional storage.
Inside, there is a fitted kitchen with a freezer and microwave included, along with space for further appliances and a dining table. The shower room benefits from vanity storage and a flush toilet with built-in holding tank , while the comfortable sitting room features a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy living space. The sitting room flows through to the bedroom, which has opening doors leading out onto the bow, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding marina views.
The boat benefits from diesel-fired central heating, a hard-wired internet connection, and has no engine, meaning it is exempt from river licensing requirements.
