Description
Combining stylish 21st-century accommodation with many original period features, this is a rare chance to own both a unique home and a piece of living history.
At their Victorian peak, around twenty-five college barges lined the Isis at Christ Church Meadow. They served as changing rooms, common rooms and viewing platforms during Eights Week, and were often towed to Henley to serve the same role at the Royal Regatta. As land-based boathouses took over between the mid-1950s and late 1970s, the barges were gradually abandoned, leaving the survivors rare.
Commissioned by Brasenose College and built by Salters of Oxford, this barge was completed in 1882 and is the third of the Brasenose College barges. It is one of only five known to survive.
Over the last 15 years, her current owners have maintained the barge to a superb standard, blending 19th-century design with modern interior fittings.
A large conservatory-style entrance hall leads into a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, then through to an impressive oak-beamed lounge and on to the double bedroom.
The mooring is annually renewable currently at £1,000pcm with Council Tax Band A.
There is a charge of £185 pcm in addition for the maintenance and amenities of the moorings.
