Aradia - £95,000

Aradia is a stunning, semi-trad narrowboat that the owner, an interior designer, thoughtfully updated and refurbished at considerable expense.  For sale fully furnished, and with a stocked kitchen, she  is ready to entertain. This is a turn-key opportunity for her fourth owner to move aboard immediately.  Viewings are strongly recommended to fully appreciate her specification and the quality of her interior.

The rear deck's seating area with folding canopy (2022), invited outdoor entertaining.  Inside, the open plan lounge and kitchen (2021) is bright, practical and luxurious with walnut sound proof panelling below the gunnels and fresh paint and washable wallpaper above.  Solid oak floors run throughout.  Large windows light the interior year round and offer wonderful views across the marina to Canary Wharf.  Furnishings (Graham & Green) include a boucle couch that unfolds into two single beds or one together.  There is also a television connection.

A Hobbit multi-fuel stove and Webasto (2022) radiators keep the boat warm all winter.  Intelligent, contemporary design and high-end finishes continue.  The Ikea kitchen is generous with a built-in gas cooker, under counter fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and even a six bottle wine fridge!  The bathroom is of exceptional quality and features a shower, new tiles (2021), compost toilet and hand basin with a large mirror and window.  Her spacious bedroom comes with a double bed, full closet and well planned storage.  It opens to the front deck, perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks at sunset.

Aradia's location in Limehouse Basin is ideal.  Located next to the River Thames and a minute from Limehouse DLR, you are a few stops away from the heart of London via Bank, Tower Hill or Canary Wharf underground.  On your doorstep are the lovely pubs and restaurants on Narrow Street, overlooking the Thames, and you're minutes away from Shoreditch and the shops and cinemas at Canary Wharf and Stratford.

The community on the pontoon is very special.  Our boaters are cheerful, welcoming and supportive.  Spontaneous social gatherings happen in good weather, deck chairs and a TV were recently spotted for passers-by to take in the football, and you're nearly always guaranteed a hearty greeting whether you're coming or going.  Need help or have some to offer?  There's a friendly group WhatsApp waiting for you too.

A list of upgrades and maintenance details are available.
