Houseboat 'Romanta' at Ham Wharf, Brentford TW8, is a 52ft houseboat offering a rare opportunity to create a distinctive riverside home on a well placed stretch of the Thames. Built in 2003 by SW Durham Steelcraft, the vessel has the proportions of a widebeam narrowboat, with a bow form and an extended wheelhouse at the stern.<br/>Inside, the layout provides two bedrooms, a larger than average kitchen, and a comfortable living room positioned to enjoy views across the river. From here the scene is constantly changing, with boats, birds and riverside wildlife drifting past.<br/>The wheelhouse has been extended aft by approximately 1.5 metres, creating a practical entrance space and an elevated vantage point over the water. The overall plan offers good internal volume and a clear framework for improvement.<br/>The boat would benefit from a programme of updating and refurbishment, presenting an appealing project for someone looking to shape a houseboat to their own taste.<br/>Ham Wharf sits within easy reach of shops, cafés and transport in Brentford, while the wider regeneration of the nearby Brentford Project continues to enhance the surrounding area.<br/>A particular advantage is the exceptionally low mooring fee of just £475 per month, making this an accessible route into life on the river.
