This week, we’re in search of desirable waterfront properties. Yes, you pay a premium for this particular feature, but all three of the properties we’ve short-listed are under a million pounds. The cheapest is actually less than 60k.
Is there a catch? Well, yes… and no. The waterfront property that you can get for £59,950 is a mooring for a houseboat; so, you still need to buy the property. I suppose, it’s much like buying a plot of land where you can then build your house – except, in this case, it’s a plot of water.
The second property is a sweet, one-bedroom flat on the 6th floor with views over a canal in the East End of London. The property is compact & bijou but is very well laid out and has a roomy balcony with views stretching across the city.
The 3rd property is located beside Newton Creek – off the River Yealm south east of Plymouth. It has huge picture windows in many of the rooms giving views of the waterway. It even has it’s own dock where you can moor your own canoes or other small boats.
A freehold 62ft long mooring plot set directly onto the River Waveney. Dredged in 2021 with completely new quay heading fitted in 2016. Also benefits from parking for two cars.
A private and secure mooring set within Riverside Park, accessed via locked security gates. Located in the unspoilt riverside village of St Olaves, the ideal base from which to explore the entire Norfolk Broads network with access out to sea at both Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
The full plot measures approximately 135ft x 20ft with the mooring dock extending for approximately 62ft x 12ft 6in.
The plot has private parking for at least two cars, and has mains water and electricity connected.
There is a large decked seating area with two storage sheds with a turbine and solar panel included.
