Bills & council tax included - stylish flat aboard houseboat
central & sought after location

Available to let on a short or long-term basis is a charming 2 bedroom flat with original features, built into the original crew quarters, aboard this unique house boat. The St Michael is a converted Beam Trawler, built in 1974, which sailed the North Sea until retirement in 1994. The rear flat, with a floorspace of 80m², is one of three living spaces aboard the boat.

The Rear flat is a faithful conversion of the space that was used for habitation by the crew of the St Michael during voyages in the North Sea. The space is one of only a few in the country with this unusual character, consisting of a Kitchen and Dining area, Bathroom, accompanied by a large Bedroom below, and a spacious and bright multi-purpose room flanked by windows on all sides from where the boat would have been steered, with the Captain's Cabin behind; a small and cosy Bedroom with plenty of natural light.

She is docked along the south side of the river Thames in Nine Elms, directly between Vauxhall Bridge and the Battersea Power Station.

This is a unique opportunity to experience living on the Thames in Zone1. Moored in a dock, that in the 18th century was the outlet from a millpond, the St Michael is part of a small thriving river community that was once common in London. A wealth of cultural amenities are almost on your doorstep from galleries to street markets, with restaurants, bars, parks and transport links all within easy reach. Establishments such as the Nine Elms Tavern, Black Cab Coffee Co., and Chokhi Dhani can be found in the inlet surrounding the St Michael, with a Waitrose across the road and Sainsbury's Local a minute's walk down the road.

The St Michael started life as a North Sea fishing trawler and now enjoys a quiet and scenic mooring at this excellent location on the Thames, next to the Riverlight Towers surrounded by numerous amenities and a leafy landscaped plaza. There is also a rocky beach which stretches beyond Vauxhall station and is accessible by ladder next to the entrance.

She has been converted into multiple flats, and boasts a large rooftop garden which can be accessed by tenants. We are looking for tenants keen to live aboard a quiet but centrally situated unique liveaboard, to enjoy the flat for a short to medium-term let. A longer let is possible; please get in touch with us to discuss. The Midships flat has been running as a holiday let, so it comes fully furnished and has recently been renovated. Rent-to-rent arrangements are not being considered at this time; private tenants only.
