This 2 bedroom steel hulled barge was originally built in 1925 and is presently situated on a popular Residential mooring located in a secure, gated community in Canary Wharf. Last surveyed in 2014 and painstakingly refurbished internally and repainted externally in 2015, this is an opportunity for an atmospheric pied a terre or floating home on the edge of The City. The wheelhouse to the upper deck could be a charming entertaining area and enjoys 360 degree views, whilst the cabins themselves are well equipped with wardrobe space. Both bathrooms are modern and stylish, whilst the open-plan saloon has lofty ceilings and a contemporary fitted kitchen which combine to provide a light and airy centre of the dwelling. Traditional marine features abound and include porthole windows and curved ceilings overhead.
