A houseboat goes on sale for £2.25 MILLION in London (and it’ll cost you £27,000 a year to moor)
The plush pad boasts three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen with all the mod cons and an outdoor terrace
A houseboat has gone on sale for a whopping £2.25million – almost four times the price of the average London home.
But this is no Rosie and Jim-style barge - the plush pad boasts three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a sprawling drawing room which opens onto an external terrace, a dining room, a utility room and a kitchen with all the mod cons.
There is also under floor heating, a zoned alarm system and CCTV camera monitoring the entrance gangways.
The 3,050sq ft luxury vessel is moored on Cadogan Pier, next to billionaires’ row Cheyne Walk and just a short walk away from high-end shops and museums in Sloane Square.
Estate agent described the location as “simply sensational” and said it offers “unsurpassed views of the River Thames and Albert Bridge”.
A three-bed house in the area would cost upwards of £6 million so the boat – decked out in a grey and neutral colour palette - is considered a snip at a third of the price.
