Description
Boat Overview
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.

Location
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.
Community
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.
