[ad_1]

The 65ft canal boat, located at one of the most sought-after moorings in London, Cumberland Basin, is currently for sale, listed on Zoopla at £185,000.

Moments from Regent’s Park and a stone’s throw from both Camden Town and Primrose Hill this narrowboat gets you an NW1 postcode without the price tag.

The five boats that have residential moorings in this area rarely come up for sale and are usually in high demand.

The Zoopla listing describes the narrowboat as a “fantastic opportunity”.

The narrowboat, built in 1971, offers a unique opportunity for potential buyers.

Previously used as a writer’s studio, it lacks the conventional layout of a narrowboat, where the interior is divided up into saloon, galley, cabin, and heads.

The new owner, therefore, has the chance to create their own layout by adding internal partitions.

The Zoopla listing adds that the internal lining of the boat is “beautifully” crafted with cedarwood, and all the thru-hull fittings are in place.

Prospective buyers are advised to make their own enquiries about the exact mooring fee before purchase.

As guidance, the current mooring fees are around £10,000 each year.

The Cumberland Basin mooring is within walking distance of Camden Town and Mornington Crescent tube stations.

Lots of Londoners love the idea of ditching the ‘rat race’ and moving into a more off-grid home.

One London artist swapped her expensive house share for a narrowboat along the Grand Union Canal, and is now saving £500 a month.

Another Londoner quit his job as a hairdresser to become a boat fitter, and now lives on the London canal system.
