A delightful houseboat moored in a fantastic central Oxford location.

The interior blends contemporary comfort with traditional character, featuring beautifully hand-crafted solid wood fittings, including a bespoke ship-style kitchen and cleverly designed self-assembly sofa beds. Practical storage is provided through hanging space, bookshelves and a fitted cupboard.

Outside, the deck offers a wonderful spot to relax and watch life unfold along the towpath or enjoy peaceful views towards the trees of Worcester College. It is a tranquil setting with a timeless atmosphere, where passing walkers and boaters often stop for a friendly chat.

Thoughtfully designed to make the most of the available space, the accommodation includes a well-equipped handcrafted kitchen with a gas cooker and electric fridge, along with a Fired Earth tiled bathroom featuring hot water and a caravan-style Porta Potti. While entirely practical and functional, the bathroom retains the authentic character of life aboard a historic narrowboat.

Dating back to 1877, this remarkable boat is full of charm, character and individuality. It offers a unique experience that is comfortable yet delightfully simple.

The sale includes the permanent mooring which is transferable and can be sold at a future date.

*** Please note that this narrowboat is not mortgageable, so any buyer will need to have cash funds ready and available ***
