Description

FABULOUS & UNIQUE Humber Barge available with the option to take over her coveted, fully transferable, residential mooring at Aquavista's award winning Poplar Marina next to Canary Wharf. Elspeth Mabel is a credit to her current owners who have correctly (and meticulously) maintained her whilst sensibly upgrading her onboard systems during their ownership. Successfully surveyed in September 2023 by Mr Stefan Fritz, widely recognised as the leading barge expert in London, and ready to move onboard immediately. Elspeth Mabel offers stunning accommodation for those wishing to live aboard full time or for those based away but requiring a regular base in London. Her fore and rear decks provide ample space to relax, dine, work or entertain whilst enjoying the spectacular views. Stepping onboard, her enormous wheelhouse is a super-flexible space. Often used as a guest bedroom by the current owners, it also doubles as an amazing office for home based workers or a further dining area. The staircase leading below is gently angled and leads into the chef designed, fully equipped, kitchen/galley which even features an adjoining walk-in pantry! The saloon, along with rest of her interior, is wonderfully light thanks to skylights throughout the boat and provides an extremely stylish, spacious and luxurious living room. From the saloon one can also appreciate the glass panel set into the wheelhouse which not only provides further light but adds to the feeling of space and gives the wheelhouse the appearance of a mezzanine above. Adding to the bespoke, high end quality feel on board are the underfloor heating, beautiful decoration and the retention of original features where possible. Indeed, Elspeth Mabel's interior design is an exceptionally successful marriage of the contemporary and traditional, whilst all the while reminding those onboard that they are on a fully functioning, and very special, houseboat. Further forward is the delightful “owners cabin” with double bed and ample storage, off which is a further discovery, a super cool office in the bow! Finally, her spacious bathroom is complete with a full size, roll top bath. Please contact our London broker to discuss this unique and very special boat in more detail and to schedule your viewing onboard.
