The Property
***SPACIOUS HOUSEBOAT SET ON A LARGE PRIVATE MOORING WITH SPECTACULAR RIVER VIEWS***

*** 360-DEGREE VIRTUAL TOUR***

***NO FORWARD CHAIN***

***NO STAMP DUTY*** Purplebricks is delighted to offer to market this fantastic bespoke Houseboat Ancasta, as featured on TV. This unique and characterful modern static houseboat is available for sale with its own large private mooring and pontoon on a stunning location on the river Itchen giving access to the Solent, Hamble and the Isle of Wight.

The lower deck has a large open kitchen and dining area, two bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a home office) and family bathroom with corner bath and shower. The larger of these two bedrooms has built-in wardrobes, and features its own private balcony to one side of the boat. The bright and airy modern lounge, with solid oak flooring and wood burner, looks straight out onto the river through double-glazed hardwood French doors.

The upper deck is accessed via a Victorian cast iron staircase, and the view from the master bedroom is simply superb. Half of the floor of this room is of genuine Japanese tatami matting, creating an ideal surface for practising yoga or martial arts. The upper balcony to the side provides the perfect spot for morning coffee as the sun rises across the river.

Outside there is a timber deck area for dining and 3 outbuildings – a wood store/bike shed, a work shed, and ‘the shack’ which has a mezzanine floor with views of the river, double-glazed windows and w.c. / shower room, and has been used as guest accommodation.

On the riverside of Ancasta, there is decking to the end and down one side, including a canopied hammock space and seating area. The pontoon gives instant hassle-free access to boating on the river.
