A striking six-bedroom houseboat in south west London, that was once an iconic Trinity House lightvessel, is on the market for £700,000.
Built in 1938, Light Vessel 93 has been lovingly converted over the years by its celebrity photographer owner. Now up for sale, it offers a unique home away from the bustle of city life and is a popular location for photoshoots and filming.
You'll be amazed at how spacious it is inside; a large galley and mess room are fitted with iconic English Rose furniture, while the former engine room provides an amazing and versatile area for entertaining guests. There's also a large skipper's cabin, a separate storeroom, six bedrooms (four of which are crew cabins), and a beautiful master bathroom complete with a 19th century French copper bath.
When you're not making the most of the inside space, head outside to the open deck. With hundreds of square metres on multiple levels, new owners can enjoy the fresh air while still wearing their slippers. Insider tip: head up to the lighthouse tower (which is 45 feet above water level) for some of the best views around. You'll never want to come back inside.
Over 15 years, the ship has been used for a number of high profile photoshoots, including fashion stories and music videos. Thanks to its striking red exterior and industrial chic interiors, Light Vessel 93 has featured in Elle Decor, Vogue and The World of Interiors, as well as being used by the Arctic Monkeys and Mumford and Sons.
Moored at Victoria Dock, Light Vessel 93 has a renewable residential yearly licence. This houseboat is currently on sale for £700,000 through Riverhomes via OnTheMarket.
