**Charming One-Bedroom Houseboat with Private Residential Mooring on the Grand Union Canal**

We are delighted to present this rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully appointed, one-bedroom static houseboat, moored on a sought-after private residential site along the Grand Union Canal—ideally situated on the Hertfordshire–Greater London border.

Set amidst tranquil greenbelt countryside, the mooring offers peaceful, scenic surroundings while remaining just a short stroll from a bustling high street, featuring supermarkets, restaurants, a post office, pharmacies, gyms, and more. Excellent transport links include nearby access to both mainline and London Underground train services, providing easy travel into Central London.

**The Houseboat**
Built in 2004 by Eddie Powell of Bulls Bridge Docks, Middlesex, this steel-constructed boat measures 45 feet in length and 12.5 feet in width. The hull is crafted from robust 8mm steel plate, with the superstructure made from 4mm plate. She was last dry-docked in 2019, when the hull was professionally epoxy-coated. A full survey at that time confirmed excellent structural condition, with hull thickness readings between 7.2mm and 8mm. Its current Boat Safety Scheme Certificate is valid until August 2028.
