Oyster Pier, SW11 3RP

Bosco has been thoughtfully reimagined through a striking architectural intervention, combining a contemporary glazed upper structure with a refined, purpose-designed interior. The result is a distinctive balance of modern elegance and industrial character, where carefully selected materials and clean lines create a sophisticated floating residence. Before its transformation into a remarkable floating residence, Bosco served as a commercial cargo barge, transporting grain and coal along Europe's waterways. The vessel would be exempt from stamp duty. The vessel is offered with a secure, private 40-metre mooring at Oyster Pier, benefiting from an unusually long leasehold tenure exceeding 100 years.


Bosco's thoughtfully designed interior layout has created spacious rooms throughout. The lower deck features a 2 large central living areas, (one of these presently set up as a study). Natural daylight floods through the vintage ships style brass portholes with 2 separate staircases allowing more natural light to wash in. Situated at opposing ends of the barge there are three bedrooms plus one occasional berth, the main cabin being ensuite, a centrally positioned utility room and a unique cinema room at the bow. Accessed via the light filled staircase onto the upper deck level, the galley/dining, breakfast bar area offer another entertaining and relaxing space. The well appointed galley makes this the ideal floating home.


The Upper deck is reached via separate staircases from the centre of the barge and opens onto the expansive views across the Thames immediately opposite Imperial Wharf. On the upper deck you will find the Fully-glazed, geometric pavilion, that brings a contemporary architectural statement to the waterside setting, access to the kitchen/dining area and the "Captains Room" (Former wheelhouse.) From this wheelhouse, access is gained into the engine room below that doubles up as a unique wine cellar complete with air conditioning.
