4 bed houseboat for sale

Lots Ait, Brentford TW8

Introducing Sudwind, a remarkable example of a beautifully converted single screw Dutch 'Klipper' barge, originally built in 1906 in Groningen, Netherlands. This stunning vessel, initially a sailing barge, was expertly transformed into a motor ship circa the 1920s. Measuring 30m by 5.14m, Sudwind retains her traditional charm while providing a refined liveaboard experience, featuring a timber top wheelhouse and a Luxemotor-style aft cabin.

Currently moored at Lots Ait in Brentford, this barge is available with a residential mooring licence that can be assigned upon purchase. The mooring fees are approximately £1,387.50 per calendar month, with an additional maintenance fee of approximately £132.56 monthly. Immaculately presented, Sudwind offers four cabins, including a master suite complete with an en-suite and dressing room. The expansive 34 foot semi-open plan saloon flows effortlessly into the kitchen, while the panelled wheelhouse boasts panoramic views of the River Thames, complemented by excellent built-in storage throughout.

Residents can enjoy a communal garden area on the island. For commuters, Brentford National Rail Station is just an 11 minute walk away, and Kew Bridge National Rail Station is a 13 minute stroll. With trains running approximately every 15 minutes, you can reach Clapham Junction in just 19 minutes and Waterloo in 32 minutes. For motorists, the A4 is a mere five minute drive, with Chiswick and Richmond also within easy reach. The residential licence operates on a six month rolling contract, offering flexibility for your river lifestyle.
