Peace and tranquillity on Brentford Island

21st March 2007 Print
Peace and tranquillity on Brentford Island Dreams of a change in lifestyle could become reality with the purchase of a narrow boat through Townends in Brentford.

Merlin, currently moored on Brentford Island, was built in Cheshire in November 2005 by Liverpool Boats and the interior was designed to the specification of the current owner by boat fitter Paul Williams. Accommodation comprises a double bedroom, fitted kitchen, lounge and modern shower room.

Sara Wolchover, Merlin’s current owner comments, “I absolutely adore living on the water with its peace and tranquillity and being surrounded by wildlife. I haven’t yet decided whether or not to buy on land or another narrow boat as there is a real sense of community at Brentford Island which I love”.

Brentford Island is only a two minute walk to Brentford High Street and a ten minute walk to Brentford Main Line station with trains to London Waterloo in approximately 30 minutes, making it an ideal first purchase for commuters.

Merlin is currently on the market for £99,950 through Townends in Brentford on 020 8568 2929. The asking price is for the purchase only of the narrow boat. There is a waiting list for mooring facilities at Brentford Island.
