Loft-Style Living on the Water - 27m Dutch Barge with Rare Central London Mooring, Priced for a quick Sale!

Kaapsea Drai presents a rare opportunity to own a stunning 27m Dutch Barge with a fully transferable residential mooring at the highly sought-after South Dock Marina, SE16.

Originally built in 1906, this converted sailing barge has been meticulously maintained, including a 2016 survey and full hull epoxy treatment. Offering 1,279 sq. Ft (118 sq. M) of "loft-style" living on the water, the interior is defined by crisp white walls, oak flooring, and
an abundance of natural light from numerous skylights and portholes.

The massive open-plan central living space is perfect for entertaining and offers total flexibility, with more than enough room to add a second cabin if required. The master cabin at the bow features a king-size bed and generous storage, while the stylish bathroom
includes a full-sized bath with overhead shower and electric heads.

The modern galley is fully equipped with a gas hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, and washing machine, supported by an electric boiler for central heating.

The expansive outer deck offers immense potential to develop and extend the living area, providing a fantastic opportunity to maximise the indoor/outdoor experience while taking in the wonderful water and urban views

Life at South Dock Marina offers a tranquil escape within a tight-knit community, as well as the unique benefit of being London’s only central marina with an integral boatyard. Current mooring fees are approximately £14,100 per annum-offering exceptional value compared to other central London marinas for a vessel of this size.

Located in Rotherhithe, the marina boasts excellent transport links with Greenland Pier (2 mins), Surrey Quays (15 mins), and Canada Water (18 mins) all within walking distance, plus the added bonus of residential parking and the charming Ship and Whale pub
nearby.

Financing Note: As with most houseboats, purchase is typically completed via cash funds or specialist marine finance rather than a standard or traditional residential mortgage.

We’re happy to discuss this further with interested buyers.
