This rather spectacular five-bedroom houseboat has just gone on the market — and it's perfect for anyone who wants to be closer to water.
Situated in St Katharine Docks, Wapping, the impressive Matrix Island has an open-plan upper deck, bright reception area, kitchen, sitting room, five large double bedrooms (each of which have access to their own en-suites) and a newly-built office space at the end to make working from home easier.
The unique 1930s steel barge was converted into something contemporary, making it a brilliant, modern family home. With over 5,000 sq. ft there is plenty of room for entertaining and having guests who stay overnight.
Each of the rooms are incredibly spacious — something you might not expect from a houseboat. There's plenty of storage space, with room for each family member to hide away personal belongings.
Decorated with a fresh lick of white paint, the boat feels even bigger than it already is. The interiors are modern, fresh and smart, while still being a cosy place to unwind.
Step outside, and you'll find an incredibly practical outdoor dining space, perfect for eating alfresco once summer arrives. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allows the sun to beam through, while the hidden sauna makes a lovely escape at the end of the day.
