Description

Quando is a 50ft long, two-bedroom live aboard houseboat with a rich history, situated in Mystery Quay, next to Melton boatyard on the River Deben. Built in 1980, the ferro-cement vessel has been lovingly maintained and renovated, with a recent overhaul in 2018. The interior features a double bedroom with an en-suite wet room, a twin cabin rebuilt in 2024, a bathroom, and a kitchen with electric oven and gas hob. The boat also has a generous hold storage in the bow, underfloor storage in the lounge, and a large open deck space. With a range of heating options, including an Eberspacher blown hot air system, wood burner, and electric tube heaters, and a mains supply of electricity, water, and gas, Quando offers a comfortable and self-sufficient living space. The boatyard amenities include a residential mooring, access to shower and toilet block, HMS Vale Bar, and parking. With a mooring fee of £279 per month, Council Tax Band A, and utilities included, Quando represents a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained, character-rich liveaboard with full residential comforts. The owner's comments highlight the unique experiences and memories made living on the boat, including watching wildlife, enjoying the changing seasons, and being part of a close-knit community.
