The property description from the auctioneers said: "This custom built 60ft yacht comes with many fittings including Perkins diesel engine, navigation equipment and masts but now needs completion.

"It has never been in the water and is currently in dry dock.

"It potentially sleeps nine or 10 persons and could be a highly desirable live on boat or yacht for recreational use.

"The original layout includes a wheelhouse, galley kitchen, snug, master cabin, crew cabin and another cabin."

With a shower, it adds: "The internal arrangement has been partly formed."
