House For Sale £450,000
A rare and unique opportunity to acquire a freehold fully enclosed garden mooring in the Heart of London on the River Brent, situated between the Thames Lock and the Gauging Lock on the Grand Union Canal in Brentford, just 500 meters from the River Thames.
Close to local amenities, buses, over-ground train and underground train services just a short walk away.
This mooring is approximately 60 feet in length and can birth three 7-foot wide narrowboats. It currently has two narrowboats moored alongside each other, one of which is for sale for an additional £45,000.
She is a 47-foot, 2-birth narrow beam steel vessel called Gilgie, built by the infamous Hancock & Lake and powered by a bmc diesel engine.
The mooring is semi-tidal and is protected by normal daily tidal changes seen on the River Thames, however when high Spring tides breach the Thames Lock twice a month, the boats will rise to the top of the river bank.
Because the mooring is situated south of the Gauging Lock, it falls outside of the jurisdiction of the Canal and River Trust and is therefore exempt of any licence fee requirements.
This essentially means that the owner of this land could moor three narrowboats (Or a wider vessel) without being required to pay the Canal and River Trust the 3x £1125 licence fees saving £3375 annually at 2022/23 prices.
The freehold land is fully enclosed by fencing with two pedestrian steel gates. There is a postbox and a postal service is provided.
The property is serviced with mains electricity and mains water. There is an electricity spur from the main electricity meter with an additional electricity meter, should the owner wish to let one of the moorings to a 3rd party.
The mooring is subject to council tax at band A rating.
This land might suit someone looking for an alternative to buying a leasehold apartment as there are no ground rent and maintenance charges and it could support a spacious luxury vessel with outside space and the option of getting out onto the River Thames or up the Grand Union Canal whenever it suites.
Viewing will be by appointment only between 12am and 4pm on Saturday the 19th of November and 12am and 4pm on Sunday the 20th of November. Offers will be considered at 1pm on Wednesday the 23rd of November.
