Description:

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present this large dutch barge, with already comfortable accommodation, in cruising condition and with a massive hold ready to convert to create an incredible living space.
Accommodation currently is at the stern below the wheelhouse, and is spacious and light. It is fully plumbed and wired, and has full central heating. It comprises a large lounge, kitchen area, small office, bathroom and two double bedrooms. There is a further large room to the bow after the hold which could easily be another lounge or double bedroom, office or even a self contained flat.
The hold for conversion is an incredible 134' long, 26' beam, and with a depth from the roof to the new steel (2010) floor of nearly 14'. The hold area itself also has a sliding aluminium roof in several parts.
The engine is in excellent working order, as is the 360 degree 100hp bow thruster. There was a new fire alarm and smoke detection system fitted in 2010.The fully equipped wheelhouse provides incredible views, and enables good all round vision for cruising purposes. Behind the wheelhouse is a good sized deck area to enjoy your surroundings in comfort, with a 1.8 tonne hi-ab.
This is an amazing opportunity to create an incredible home, moored at Port Werburgh, the UK's largest residential marina, with a friendly community of houseboat owners, beautiful, secure surroundings and close travel links by road and rail to London. This vessel can only be used for non commercial purposes.
