Offering the potential for immediate occupation, this floating, one bedroom home or creative work space makes an ideal summer, or all year residence, in a small but friendly community.

Lovingly maintained, the roof was fully refurbished in March 2015, has fibrewool insulation throughout and dry bilges.
The three piece shower room has a powerful 8.5Kw shower, half & full flush toilet and plenty of storage space. The lounge has a TV & DVD player to enjoy from a leather, two seater, reclining settee. Blinds are in place throughout along with a range of 240v electric lighting and many double sockets.
The structure may be moved via river tug or outboard motor, or the marina berth may continue be let subject to agreement with the owners.

The Marina
The Marina provides a car parking space and The Lighthouse Café is a bar and restaurant facility for Marina guests and passing trade alike. At only £212.00 a month, the Marina represents one of the best value moorings in the area.
The marina supplies an electric hook up and meters to pay for electricity used, also ample fresh water (for which they ask that boats have a suitable holding tank).
As other moorings become available on the marina, it is possible to move from the towpath to the pontoons if such is desired, however, alternatively, if you wish to move away, only one months notice is needed.

A potential rental yield of over 10% (with potential to achieve £399 pcm) in an area short of smaller sized rental properties.
