Description
Offering the space and comforts of a conventional home combined with an exceptional waterside lifestyle, Mayfair Lady provides three bedrooms, three shower rooms/WCs, generous living and dining areas, central heating, two substantial outdoor decks and private gated parking.
Unlike many houseboats, Mayfair Lady is also a fully operational twin-engine motor yacht, powered by two Caterpillar diesel engines which have undergone extensive professional recommissioning and servicing. The vessel recently made the journey under her own power from Essex to her new home in Erith.
The Accommodation
The surprisingly spacious interior extends to approximately 85 m² and has been designed for comfortable year-round living.
There are three bedrooms comprising two doubles and one single, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes/storage, excellent headroom and plenty of natural light. Both double bedrooms have their own en-suite shower room with WC, while a further main bathroom provides another shower and WC.
At the heart of the home is a spacious lounge, complemented by a separate dining area with a table that can convert to provide additional sleeping accommodation. The fitted kitchen is ready for immediate use and includes a cooker, fridge and dishwasher.
An oil-fired boiler supplies radiator central heating throughout, making this a genuine all-season home rather than simply a summer retreat.
The vessel can accommodate up to nine berths when its convertible sleeping areas are utilised.
Exceptional Outdoor Living
One of Mayfair Lady’s greatest attractions is the amount of outside space.
There are two large decks, providing wonderful places for entertaining, dining outdoors or simply enjoying the views across the water.
The vessel’s new residential mooring offers excellent privacy and far-reaching views, while a private terrace area alongside the vessel is currently being created, adding another valuable outdoor space for the new owner.
With relatively few neighbouring boats, the setting feels peaceful and secluded – a remarkable contrast to its convenient location within a busy London commuter town.
Permanent Residential Mooring
Mayfair Lady occupies a permanent residential mooring at Anchor Bay Moorings, Erith, DA8 2AJ.
The mooring is within a private gated community and benefits from secure off-street parking behind the gates. The marina is currently undergoing significant improvements, with facilities including communal showers and wash facilities, washing machines/laundry facilities and further upgraded services.
Water is included within the mooring fee, while electricity is individually metered at a reasonable rate. No Council Tax is currently applicable to the vessel.
The residential mooring licence is arranged separately with the marina. The marina owners have confirmed that the purchaser of Mayfair Lady can retain the vessel at the mooring, with no transfer fee currently required.
Excellent Commuter Location
Despite its tranquil waterside setting, Mayfair Lady is well positioned for commuters and everyday amenities.
Both Erith and Slade Green railway stations are approximately a five-minute drive away, providing convenient connections towards London, making this an intriguing alternative for buyers who want something very different from a conventional flat or house while retaining access to the capital.
Extensively Refreshed & Ready to Move Into
Mayfair Lady has recently undergone a comprehensive cosmetic refresh including:
* Repainting throughout
* Decks repainted
* Carpets professionally cleaned
* Exterior canopies cleaned
* Extensive mechanical recommissioning and servicing
* Twin Caterpillar diesel engines tested and operational
The vessel is being sold with its built-in beds, fitted kitchen appliances and deck furniture, allowing the new owner to move in and enjoy the property immediately.
The current owners comfortably occupy Mayfair Lady as a family home for four people and two dogs, demonstrating just how practical the accommodation can be for everyday residential living.
A Motor Yacht – Not Simply a Static Houseboat
What makes Mayfair Lady particularly unusual is that she remains a fully operational motor yacht.
Powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines, the vessel has undergone extensive professional recommissioning following a prolonged period of inactivity. Works included engine inspection and diagnostics, fuel-system servicing, cooling-system and raw-water intake work, electrical testing, replacement/testing of batteries, gearbox inspection and propeller cleaning, followed by operational testing.
Mayfair Lady subsequently travelled from Essex to Erith under her own engine power, with video footage of the journey available to prospective purchasers.
Investment & Holiday-Let Potential
In addition to making an extraordinary permanent home, Mayfair Lady could appeal to buyers looking for a London weekend retreat or distinctive holiday-let/Airbnb opportunity.
The marina owners have confirmed that holiday letting is permitted at the mooring, potentially opening up an additional use for an investor or owner wishing to generate income when the vessel is not being personally occupied.

Mayfair Lady represents an opportunity to acquire something genuinely different: a spacious three-bedroom home, a peaceful waterside lifestyle and a fully operational motor yacht, all for £165,000.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the amount of accommodation, outdoor space and unique setting on offer.
Please note: Mayfair Lady is a motor vessel sold as a chattel rather than conventional freehold or leasehold property. The residential mooring is held separately under a marina licence. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to mooring terms, ongoing charges, holiday-letting arrangements, finance availability and any other requirements directly with the marina and their professional advisers.
