UK: Truly exceptional and rare 1930s steel barge in St Katharine Docks for sale in UK

Description

***Leisure Mooring***A truly exceptional and rare 1930s steel barge, reimagined as one of London’s most remarkable contemporary houseboats, quietly moored within the prestigious setting of St Katharine Docks Marina. With close to 5,000 sq ft of internal space, this floating home offers an extraordinary sense of volume and light. A near 50 ft foredeck provides a generous platform for al fresco dining and entertaining, while above, the expansive open-plan upper deck unfolds into a striking sequence of reception, kitchen and dining spaces, framed by wide dockside views and centred around a dramatic atrium staircase. Below, the lower deck reveals a further reception area with direct access to a rib and jet-ski platform, alongside five beautifully proportioned double bedrooms, each with direct or shared en suite facilities. Recent improvements include new wool carpeting, a replaced boiler, integrated LED lighting and full redecoration throughout. Set to the rear, a newly created office enjoys uninterrupted views towards Tower Bridge and is thoughtfully separated from the main living spaces, offering an ideal balance between work and retreat. Positioned on Matrix Island with its own private access ramp, the vessel occupies a prime berth within London’s premier luxury marina, moments from the City and the Thames. A rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive waterside residence in one of the capital’s most iconic dockland settings. Please note: the mooring is held under a licence agreement rather than leasehold. Further details available on request.
