2 Bedrooms for sale in Maida Avenue, London W2 | £ 495,000

Property Description

A rare opportunity to purchase this unique and iconic 60ft/18.3m houseboat with two bedrooms in the heart of prestigious Little Venice. Creatively decorated with flair and offering beautiful, tranquil views, surrounded by impressive period villas and close to Warwick Avenue station.
Uzezena has the benefit of being sold with a fully assignable and transferable houseboat mooring from the Canal & River Trust, in arguably the finest position on the Regent’s Canal.

Built to order in 2000 in steel all round, for its current owner by reputable boat builders Reeves to a very high standard and meticulously maintained since. The last out-of-water maintenance and survey was in September 2018, which has been undertaken every 4 or 5 years. This no engine boat was constructed to an above standard specification with a 15mm steel bottom plate, 10mm steel deck plates and a spray foam lined hull. Internally, it is full of ingenious features and has plenty of built-in storage areas throughout.

1 Little Venice is accessed via a pretty garden that has been imaginatively maintained by the current owner, in a private gated section of the canal pathway alongside Maida Avenue.
The boat consists of the following accommodation:
Covered porch leading to a secure sliding metal front door into the main open-plan saloon with floor to ceiling windows providing an beautiful outlook onto the water, steps down to a spacious fitted kitchen/diner with all appliances including full sized fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, combination oven, hob and space to dine, master bedroom with raised sleeping platform and built-in wardrobes, en-suite bathroom with full bath, second bedroom/study currently arranged with large desk, built-in wardrobes and sleeping snug plus an en-suite wet-room and plenty of clever storage areas throughout the boat.
Diesel powered boiler providing central heating and hot water with plenty of radiators throughout, mains water, electricity and telephone line.
Externally, there are two large top decks which are perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining, a brick-built barbeque, non-demised garden along the pathway and a shed. Benefits from eligibility for a residential parking permit from City of Westminster.
This a uniquely beautiful, functional space in an incredible area and as the owner states “Uzezena is a sheer joy, offering the magic of living on the water”.
Little Venice is a picturesque area, defined by the Regent’s Canal and the grand Victorian homes that surround it, with an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. Convenient transport links with many bus routes nearby and trains from Warwick Avenue (Bakerloo) and Paddington (Hammersmith & City, District, Circle, Bakerloo and Mainline services including the Heathrow Express).
