Stepping onto this design-led houseboat, you’ll soon see why it was featured on Channel 4’s ‘George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.’ Deceptively large and carefully styled, you’d hardly know you were on a houseboat at all – if it weren’t for the river just outside. The furnished deck is a definite highlight, equipped with outdoor seating and a fire pit. But thanks to bi-fold doors and enormous porthole windows, the indoors blends seamlessly with its surroundings. A skylight keeps things bright even on the lower level, and luxurious extras like a spa tub, underfloor heating and Alexa-controlled blinds and lighting ensure all comforts are provided. While you could easily while away all day taking in the river views, ramp up the action with a visit to Thorpe Park (within walking distance) or take part in some water sports on nearby Thorpe Lake.
