About this property
Luxurious houseboat in London
Live London differently.
The houseboat is a unique place to stay in London, just down the River Thames from Tower Bridge and the Tower of London and just 5 minutes’ walk from Limehouse DLR station which means that all London landmarks are right on your doorstep. It is designed with every comfort in mind, including super fast Wifi, smart TV with content streaming services, extra comfortable beds with mattress toppers, feather down pillows and top quality linen. A freestanding bath and separate shower in the luxuriously appointed bathroom complete an experience which you and your guests will not forget. There are radiators throughout the boat making this a cosy and comfortable home all year round.
The space
You enter the boat at the stern (back) where you’ll find seating for 6-8 people around a wooden semi-circular table and comfortable semi-circular bench seating with soft cushions. Outlook across Limehouse Marina from all aspects. There is an infra-red lamp hanging above the table which provides both light in the evening and heat for those cooler days and nights, making this covered area useable all year round.
You then step down into a large open plan living space. Here you will find a comfortable corner sofa facing a wall mounted 43” smart TV with content streaming services available, supported by the super fast Wifi. In this space there is also a small library with an excellent cross-section of books for those lazier days on board. Just to one side there is a desk and chair for anyone who needs to work from home while on board.
Beyond this is an amazing kitchen and eating space, incorporating a very large marble-topped island (with sink and breakfast bar and four stools). This is a state of the art kitchen which any chef will be happy to work from, which includes a wine fridge, dishwasher, washer/dryer, integrated oven/microwave/grill, large fridge and separate freezer. Every possible piece of kitchen equipment is included to allow you to prepare meals on board or simply to be confident of your wine being chilled at exactly the right temperature.
The corridor leading off the open plan living area is lined with artwork from around the world. The first room you come to is the smaller second bedroom with a luxurious double bed, guaranteeing the most comfortable night’s sleep. All linen, towels, pillows and duvets are of the very highest standard. This bedroom has an open wardrobe with hanging and storage space for your clothes.
The next door leads to the very well appointed bathroom. There is a freestanding bath, separate shower unit with a rainforest shower head, basin, and WC. Grey slate flooring completes the room.
There is a connecting door from the bathroom into the main bedroom, passing through a dressing room area with plenty of hanging space and drawer space for all of your clothing and other personal items. The main bedroom itself feels indulgent and spacious. The king size bed is supremely comfortable with top quality mattress topper and a beautiful deep green velvet headboard. There are beautiful original paintings hanging on the walls and double doors give out onto a very private patio space at the bow (front) of the boat, complete with planting, two comfortable seats and a small table for your morning cup of coffee or evening drink. The space (and all windows down one side of the boat) offer spectacular views across the marina, looking west towards the setting sun.
The mooring position of this boat is without doubt the most favourable in the whole of the marina, totally private and offering a quiet hideaway in this global city, yet within easy reach of all London’s tourist attractions.
