This three bedroom houseboat may appear ludicrously expensive at £660,000, over three times the national house price, but it’s arguably a bargain price if you want to live in London’s ultra-expensive Chelsea.

With spacious accommodation over two levels and lots of deck space, it is in good condition and is located at Cheyne Walk Moorings, close to the famous Kings Road and Battersea Park.

On the upper deck there is a large reception room leading to a bright fore-end and south-facing deck.

On the lower deck there is a modern eat-in kitchen, the three bedrooms, a bathroom suite and loads of fore-end storage.

Then there are the fabulous views over the Thames to London’s skyline. But the downside is that there are only two years left on the houseboat’s residential licence and its mooring and maintenance fees, including utilities, will set you back a hefty £16,000 a year. It is on the market through agent Portico.
