Description

Caracoli is probably the most beautiful houseboat on the Thames.

She was lovingly built from scratch by the current owners and finished in September 2016. No expense has been spared to create a unique, beautiful and character filled home.

Lying between Putney and Wandsworth, she has beautiful views of Putney Bridge and is moored adjacent to Wandsworth Park and opposite The Hurlingham Club.

On entry, what will immediately strike you will be the generous proportions of all of the rooms. Given that you are right on the Thames, you know that you are on a houseboat, but there has been no compromise in terms of size and space.

There is 2,500 sq ft of internal living space plus around a further 1,600 sq ft of external deck area.

There are 4 good-sized bedrooms. The master has the best views looking straight down the river towards Putney and a very spacious ensuite bathroom.

There are 2 further bedrooms with double beds and a 4th that has twin beds that are suitable for young children.

The unique study is the perfect space for some quiet time or to enable you to catch up on a little work, if needs be.

On the main deck, there is an open-plan kitchen and dining room. Everything you see is bespoke and has been specially handmade for Caracoli. A 3-sided feature fireplace provides the ideal distinction between this area and the comfortable and airy sitting room.

The top deck is the ideal entertaining space. There is a living lawn on one end and plenty of seating on the other to enjoy a few drinks and a meal as the sun goes down and sunsets off the front deck are not to be missed!

There are numerous good pubs and restaurants within a few minutes' walk, some literally adjacent the pontoon.

The Thames Clipper pulls up 100 yards from the boat and offers a wonderful transport option into London.

This is a truly unique way to experience London with all the conveniences of a modern and well equipped home, coupled with the delights of living on the river.

The Caracoli surpassed our expectations! We went to London with our children for spring break last week. Our stay on the houseboat was so fun and such an unusual experience! It's not everyday we get to sleep on a boat! Paul and Kate have a beautiful home on the water. It was an easy walk to the Tube station and nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We would love to stay on the boat again some day and certainly recommend it to anyone!”
