We are delighted to bring to the sales market this 2 bedroom single storey houseboat lying on a secure residential mooring close to Hampton Court and having recently been the subject of various renovations.
This residential mooring forms part of the popular privately owned Ash Island in East Molesey, which is a peaceful location and has a community of around 30 floating homes. Access to the island is by way of a pedestrian bridge which offers privacy and seclusion. There is a large communal green in the centre of the island together with various storage sheds (available to rent separately) and a launderette for all residents to use.
The vessel itself has had a new steel hull in 2018 together with new wrap around walk ways leading to a large decked area, a new electric boiler for the wet radiator system in 2017 and a new roof in 2020 with a 10 year guarantee. Most recently the vessel has been redecorated internally and externally.
The accommodation spans just over 400 square feet with a double aspect lounge, fitted kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. All the rooms have views of the River. There is a railed walkway around the entire vessel for access and maintenance with a large decked space a one end for outside entertaining and enjoyment of this location.
The mooring is annually renewable on a secure licence, currently being charged at £498.40 a month, being a favourable rent along the River Thames. The present owner also has a garden directly behind the mooring offering additional private outside space for entertainment and enjoyment of the location.
Hampton Court Village is within 0.25 miles with its array of amenities including independent shops, restaurants and bars together with the historic Hampton Court Palace, and Bushy Park. Hampton Court railway station serving London is also 0.25 miles away. From the Towpath there are walks towards Kingston downstream and Windsor upstream.
The residents of the island have the benefit of permit parking supplied by the local authority on payment of a fee.
There is no onward chain and viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the attributes this vessel and location has to offer.
