Description

3x Freehold Moorings.

A rare and unique opportunity to acquire a freehold fully enclosed garden mooring in the Heart of London on the River Brent, situated between the Thames Lock and the Gauging Lock on the Grand Union Canal in Brentford.

Close to local amenities inc underground & overground train services.

The three moorings are 60 foot long.

The narrowboat with these moorings is a 47-foot, 2-berth narrow beam steel vessel called Gilgie, built by the infamous Hancock & Lake.

The mooring is semi-tidal and is protected by normal daily tidal changes seen on the River Thames by the Tidal Lock.

Situated south of the Gauging Lock, it falls outside of the jurisdiction of CRT & is exempt of any licence fee requirements.

The freehold land is fully enclosed by fencing and two steel gates.

The basin behind is undergoing a transformation and be called The Waterside.

Mains electricity and water.

Council tax band A.

Investment Opportunity!

The freehold land is fully enclosed by fencing with two pedestrian steel gates. There is a letter box and a postal service is provided.

The property is serviced with mains electricity and mains water. There is an electricity spur from the main electricity meter with an additional electricity meter, should the owner wish to let one of the moorings to a 3rd party.

The mooring is subject to council tax at band A rating.

This land might suit someone looking for an alternative to buying a leasehold apartment as there are no ground rent and maintenance charges and it could support a spacious luxury vessel with outside space and the option of getting out onto the River Thames or up the Grand Union Canal whenever it suites.

Another option might be to buy this land with other boaters and each own a mooring with a share of the bank.

It would also suit commercial uses. A bar or cafe for example with overflow tables and chairs on the bank. Situated next to the footbridge with a proper steel staircase leading down, there could be a ready supply of customers. Food for thought.
