Taffington Boathouse

The Taffington boathouse is a location and possible settlement in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
A two-story pre-War colonial house, formerly inhabited by the Sutton family and currently infested with bloodbugs.

Layout
Bloodbugs are prevalent throughout the location, with between four and six in the immediate area and three more inside. There is a mine in a pothole in the road just in front of the house. The house comes equipped with an indoor cooking station and three beds. Besides the residential building, the location also features a boathouse, containing gun traps and laser tripwires. There are five gourd plants in front of the house.

Notable loot

 * Margaret's note - On the corpse of Mary Sutton on the top floor of the boathouse.
 * Russell's note - On Margaret Sutton's corpse, near the entrance to Malden drainage.

Bugs

 * When clearing the area for settlement, some of the bloodbugs may appear inside the ground, preventing the quest from being completed. Fast traveling to another location and back may fix this issue.
 * In the southernmost part of the settlement, some workshop items, such as the food and drink vendor stores and brahmin feed trough, may not appear or appear disabled, in the workshop menu. It's still possible to create them by selecting the item before entering this section, but they may not function correctly.
