Description

'Kathleen Alexander' is a stunning 60' x 12' widebeam style narrowboat, recently constructed (shell built in 2017 by 'The Sailaway Boat Company') and fitted out (completed 2019) houseboat currently on a 'Continuous Cruising' license and based in London offers a stunning living space with a finely finished interior, fully functioning engine and a location wherever your heart desires! The vessel is extremely unique and sought after having been constructed out of Corten Weathering Steel which requires little maintenance, gives a beautiful appearance, and is a far as we know the only example of this in a boat of its kind.

This charming but luxurious widebeam boat offers buyers a rustic lifestyle that is entirely a part of its charm, in the very centre of things yet at the same time amidst peaceful and tranquil surroundings,. what a fantastic alternative to a two bedroom flat in the area which might be many times the price - ideal therefore for a couple or small family perhaps with a little more sense of romance and adventure about them.

The accommodation includes a large kitchen with beautiful tiles, modern handleless teal units with a solid bamboo worktop and reclaimed flooring, modern 5 burner range style gas cooker, grill and hob, gas heating (fitted as required), storage cupboard, plenty of storage, Smeg full size fridge and inset butler sink. The fully tiled wetroom includes a bath with instant hot water gas shower & a Separet modern compost WC for maximum convenience and minimum effort. The Living Area has a beautiful wood burning stove, side hatches and full height shelves; the spare single bedroom is in the middle of the boat and could also be used as an office, nursery or store room. The huge full width master bedroom has 2 huge wardrobes with full height mirrored doors with plenty of low level storage, and an extremely large storage cupboard. There is also a large door leading outside. Headroom on board is extremely generous

The front and rear decks of the boat are beautiful outdoor seating areas perfect for a sundowner with friends whilst watching the world go by.

The property has been finished to an unparalleled standard. 1000w of solar power provides all the electricity you'll need.

Being a Continuous Cruiser in London is a fantastic lifestyle. The license stipulates you need to move 20-30 miles a year, moving every 2 weeks and costs around £1000. It's a great way to get to know the most beautiful parts of our fine city and literally every spot is great in its own way. There are enough canals in London to ensure you're always near a tube or overground station wherever you stop and satisfy CRT at the same time.
