The Mothership – strength is in the name. This boat commands its own rare permanent, private mooring, in the heart of the city.
Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, define the bespoke nature of this boat.
Down a well-trodden path, just across the water from Primrose Hill, you stumble onto The Cumberland Basin, a familiar sight for the regular commuters and tourists of the towpath. At one end of the mooring, the Mothership sits in a prime location, with a beautiful view across to the Broadway Bridge and St Mark’s Church.
Being at one end of the mooring this is the perfect place to sit out and enjoy your private terrace, al-fresco dining, a glass of wine, morning coffee… it really is an amazing spot.
As you enter the boat, you step down into beautiful walnut & oak wood interiors. Underfloor and wall electric heating is present throughout, which is perfect at maintaining a consistent & warm air temperature right through the boat. The lighting is curated by an innovative system that is completely original to the vessel, and creates a beautifully calm environment. Electric skylights also enable you to close or open up to the outside.
The living area has been designed to maximise practicality, without losing any comfort. There is two large sofas with subtle built-in storage areas under the seats, a fold-out dining table that can be discreetly stowed away, and a working desk area, all custom fit to the space. There is also under-step shoe storage, bookshelves & a fitted flat-screen television.
The kitchen has been perfectly engineered to be a ‘working kitchen’, unlike anything you will find on a traditional houseboat. ‘Corian’ kitchen worktops & splash-backs have been installed (famous for being non-porous and stain resist), individually crafted cabinetry & storage, electric oven/microwave combo, gas hob and a fridge/freezer. Finishing off the kitchen, a cool breakfast bar tucks in elegantly alongside, providing a sweeping view of the canal.
