Description:

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present H T Wills, a classic wooden barge ideal for a wooden boat enthusiast or as a project.
This barge has lots of original fixtures and fittings, and provides a surprisingly light and homely feel, and plenty of room to create a comfortable home. Built of pitch pine on oak, the classic interior has many exposed beams providing the character you would expect from an historic craft.
Accommodation starts with a large open plan lounge, with skylights for extra light, a galley area with cooker, sink and plenty of storage, and a multi fuel burner that provides hot water and runs the heating system.
A hallway leads through to the next living area, to the left a large room that was a workshop and could be a comfortable double bedroom, to the right an open area ideal as a dining area or office. Back from this area is a traditional bathroom with bath, toilet and basin.
Forward to the next area, a very large double bedroom, again with original features. This character barge offers everything you would expect, and provides plenty of overall space. If you are looking for a home full of character, with plenty of scope for improvements to create your own home in a traditional setting, then H T Wills is definitely one to consider.
