Available Soon: Rivercation One —This one is all about Location! Location! Location! —A Fully Refurbished live-aboard Barge with Exceptional Twickenham Views — Premium MooringDue for completion by November. The owner is giving the option to purchase as on ongoing project for offers above above £150,000 to reflect extensive works to be done to the interior or purchase fully converted for a higher price POA. Moored on a private island with no public access. Rivercation One offers Peace and Tranquillity with a rare opportunity to live aboard a beautiful fully restored Thames barge with panoramic views of the River Thames in Twickenham. Furthermore, the new owner will benefit from good public transport links, great amenities, riverside pubs and restaurants. Scenes are from the Barge and Mooring. More photos will be uploaded in due course as the refurbishment work continues
With a new steel hull fitted just seven years ago and a full exterior overhaul completed last year (including a new roof, side panels, windows, and portholes), this vessel is now undergoing a complete internal fit-out by our team. Once finished, she will be, in effect, a brand-new barge — thoughtfully designed for modern living on the water.
A smart reconfiguration at the stern has added a second room, suitable for use as a study, guest room, child’s room or walk-in wardrobe. To keep our environmental footprint low we have used where ever possible recycled materials such as oak flooring and hardwood frames. The new interior layout includes modern, energy efficient appliances, plenty of sockets with USB ports. The Large windows and portholes are positioned to make the most of the 360-degree views. Completion of this unique Liveaboard is expected by the Autumn.
Early viewings are strongly recommended, particularly as there is still flexibility in layout choices for the sleeping accommodation. All exterior photo scenes are taken from onboard to reflect the privacy and exclusivity of the mooring.
