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 ***
Situation
Perfectly positioned for exploring the heart of Oxford or commuting into the city centre, the boat also provides a peaceful retreat from the bustle, making it an ideal place to unwind or work in a calm and inspiring environment.
Tucked away within a short walk from the centre of Oxford, it is very convenient for those needing access into Oxford and Oxford mainline station.
Also close by, is the Said Business School and one of Oxford's oldest pubs, The Perch. There are a range of convenience stores including Sainsburys at the beginning of Rewley Road and a Waitrose supermarket on the Botley Road.
The boat is within walking distance of the railway station with regular services directly to London Paddington, and convenient for the comprehensive amenities of the City Centre and the Westgate Shopping Centre. From the coach station at Gloucester Green, there are frequent buses to London Victoria, Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports.
