Brand New 1-Bedroom Floating Home — A Bespoke Waterside Retreat

Step aboard this beautifully crafted, architect custom designed floating home - an exceptional opportunity for anyone seeking a stylish liveaboard, a tranquil weekend hideaway, or a striking rental investment on the water.

Built to exacting standards by a professional housebuilder and seamlessly integrated onto a professionally fabricated fully welded steel pontoon, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, thoughtful design, with marine-grade durability.

A Home That Speaks of Craftsmanship

From the moment you step onto the aft platform—where a staircase leads to a generous rooftop sun deck—you’ll notice the attention to detail. The main entrance, complete with integrated Ring doorbell, opens into a light-filled open-plan living space. Here, double-glazed windows on three sides flood the room with natural light, while bespoke joinery, concealed wiring trunking, and feature wall panelling create a warm, contemporary feel.

Stylish, Functional Living

The U-shaped kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances: fridge, freezer, washing machine, electric oven, and a four-burner gas hob with illuminated extractor. A picture window above the stainless steel sink frames the view, while the deep breakfast bar with matching stools invites relaxed dining. Storage is abundant, with base and wall units plus a tall larder cupboard.

Mood lighting is built into the recessed ceiling pelmet, controlled remotely to suit any occasion. The lounge area features a large corner sofa, smart TV on an extendable bracket, and dual designer radiators that complement the timber panelling. There’s ample space for additional furniture or personal touches.

Private Quarters with Boutique Comforts

A hallway leads to the bathroom and master bedroom. The bathroom is finished with UPVC wall cladding and features a large walk-in shower with dual shower heads, a modern vanity unit with surface-mounted basin, mirrored storage, and a contemporary toilet. Natural light and ventilation are provided by a frosted window and extractor fan, while a colour-matched radiator ensures comfort year-round.

The master bedroom is a serene retreat, with a double bed flanked by built-in bedside units, overhead storage, and integrated reading lights. A large picture window, radiator, tall chest of drawers, and open hanging rail complete the space. Like the living area, it features mood lighting and quality finishes throughout.

Rooftop Living, Reimagined

Up top, the expansive sun deck is a true highlight—fully decked with galvanised safety rails (hinged for transport), planters, and a four-piece outdoor furniture set with parasol. There’s ample room for loungers, a BBQ, or even a hot tub. A full-width storage locker provides practical outdoor storage, with a dedicated compartment for the black water tank and marine pump-out fitting.

Built for Longevity and Ease of Maintenance

This floating home is as practical as it is beautiful. Flush wall hatches offer discreet access to services for easy maintenance. The exterior is clad in a durable panelling system, expertly fitted around window recesses and the pontoon base. Steelwork is protected with industry-leading marine coatings - including Sigmashield 420 and SigmaDur 550 - offering long-term resistance to abrasion, seawater, and long life/low maintenance.

Thermal comfort is ensured by industrial-grade Celotex insulation throughout, wrapped in a DuPont Tyvek Reflex breathable membrane to enhance energy efficiency and moisture protection. All windows are double glazed and fitted with wide-slat Venetian blinds for privacy and light control.
