Owner's Comments
Prior to us buying Jason in 2008 her previous owners had been living on her in her current location at Salterns for twenty plus years. Before her conversion 'Jason' was used as a floating dormitory for the children attending Fairthorn Manor YMCA. Her first role in life was moving cargo up and down the Thames. We have extensive photographs of the rebuild work that we undertook to transform Jason into the modern luxury house boat she is now.
Agent's Comments
'Jason' can only be described as a purely stunning and magical place to be. This is a once in a life time opportunity not to be missed. The level of craftsmanship throughout is quite exquisite and her location is out of this world.
Council Tax
The property is rated Band A under Eastleigh Borough Council, charge for 2014/2015, £954.09.
