I like that. Will it go under that really low bridge in Oxford?

[Simple Things]

Thats beautiful. But what's with the cerise pink kitchen worktops??

[Alan de Enfield]

For a 'Fat-Boat' thats not bad.

I love the bedroom into the bow, I want that.

[patty-ann]

Its lovely. what a brilliant place to live,

[KJT]

Lovely.....but!

 

Reading the feature, it seems the rowing clubs 'disposed of them as the expense of maintaining them was becoming too much of a burden'.

 

Not so much a case of can you afford to buy, more, can you afford to maintain it?

 

That reminds me - must check last weeks lottery ticket....

[Ssscrudddy]

Very nice.

Gotta love the turfed roof terrace. I wonder how that works with dampness for the wood underneath. Would you use a pretrol lawnmower or electric 1?

That pink kitchen is awful tho.

[Naughty Cal]

Very nice.

put a goat up there, Norway still has grass roofed houses and they apparently tether a goat to keep grass short--course then you have the added delight of a somewhat aromatic smell wafting

What will the survey find? Wooden boat of that age. What cost a new bottom?

[Athy]

We moored next to one of these when we took our boat down to the Oxford area to attend a family wedding a few years ago. It had apparently belonged to St. John's college and was now owned by the hotel, the Four Pillars, and let out as a floating function suite. It was quite spectacular.

[Captain Fizz]

And the new owner will need to find a permanent mooring, Will they now, that will be easy then.

[magnetman]

There is one in Shepperton but I thought it was a copy in steel.

 

If its that one and its an original one then one does wonder about the hull if it is wood..

 

And it doesn't have a mooring. And it doesn't have an engine.

 

 

Its not the one in Sheppetton and it is wood.

 

Another one
