Occupying a mooring in the idyllic Bembridge Harbour with glorious views in every direction, Dutch Barge Jan is an ideal island retreat.
Property Oracle says ..
This property is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom houseboat located on St Helen’s Beach Promenade in St Helens, Isle of Wight. The houseboat itself appears well-maintained and offers a comfortable interior with a unique and appealing aesthetic. Its key selling point is its prime waterfront position within the marina setting. The interior images showcase a charming and well-decorated space. The houseboat has various living areas including a large deck and sunbathing area. However, a significant drawback is the lack of land and associated garden space. The list price should be considered in relation to other properties in the area, especially traditional houses which offer more living space and land area. The nearby St Helens Primary School and its relatively close proximity to Brading train station add to the property’s appeal. Buyers should carefully consider whether the advantages of the unique location and boat lifestyle outweigh the significant limitations of the lack of land and potentially higher price compared to comparable properties with gardens. Further research into the mooring fees and maintenance costs associated with houseboat ownership should be conducted by any potential buyer.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
