The Boathouse is a lovely, detached house, situated directly on the banks of the River Tamar, with water access via steps and a slipway, walled level garden and secure covered parking and storage. Originally, over 100 years ago, the setting was the ferry collection point for crossing the River Tamar, but in 1995, the conversion of the original boathouse and the
neighbouring terrace of 4 houses was completed; the properties are all on a 999 leasehold with the freehold being split equally between the five owners in the guise of Slipway Quay Management Company Ltd.

The accommodation of The Boathouse is arranged over two floors with a welcoming entrance hall, cloakroom, three reception rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor. The sitting room is a wonderful triple aspect room with an open fire set in stone surround with raised hearth double doors leading to the garden and further double doors leading through to the sunroom, again offering wonderful views and doors to the garden.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, complemented by integral appliances including a double oven, hob, fridge, and dishwasher. The first floor comprises three bedrooms, a family shower room and an en suite bathroom to the main bedroom.

Dating back a century, this boathouse once served as the ferry collection point for crossing the nearby river. Approximately 30 to 40 years ago, it was lovingly converted into a complex of five distinctive properties, each with its own unique character. Adding to the appeal, a large garage is available, offering secure parking and additional storage for all five residents.

Prepare to embark on a truly enchanting waterfront lifestyle, where history, elegance, and natural beauty converge in perfect harmony.

Outside
The Boathouse enjoys an enviable waterfront location, with a stone walled level garden comprising lawn and terracing, perfect for waterside dining. A set of steps leads directly to the water, and there is a shared slipway to the side and a davit for raising a boat.

There is a large communal secure garage which offers secured allocated parking and storage for the five houses.

Please note this house is being sold furnished, and to include all fixtures and fittings. Holiday letting of The Boathouse is not allowed.
