Located in Pettinger Gardens, Southampton, this houseboat has spectacular river views and it has a lot of potential.

The Purple Bricks listing says: “Purplebricks is delighted to offer to market this fantastic bespoke Houseboat Ancasta, as featured on TV. This unique and characterful modern static houseboat is available for sale with its own large private mooring and pontoon on a stunning location on the river Itchen giving access to the Solent, Hamble and the Isle of Wight.

“The upper deck is accessed via a Victorian cast iron staircase, and the view from the master bedroom is simply superb. Half of the floor of this room is of genuine Japanese tatami matting, creating an ideal surface for practising yoga or martial arts.”
