A multi-fuel burner and double-glazed windows, as part of the latest works, ensure the property is equipped even for colder temperatures and keeps cool during summer. 

The houseboat is currently used as temporary holiday accommodation on Airbnb. 

The second home at the Boatyard, also in Mill Street, has been listed at £200,000. 

It comes with three bedrooms, a spacious living room, log burner, and a well-maintained kitchen.

Both bedrooms are of substantial size and come with ensuite bathrooms and underfloor heating. 

Other features include a separate cloakroom, walk-in wardrobes and a sun deck. 

The final property is a special piece of local history, the MS Brightlingsea, which used to serve as a passenger ferry. 

It operated more than 70 years ago, carrying passengers from Harwich to Felixstowe, but despite its age, it has undergone a complete re-development making it a lovely home.
