Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Alma, and extremely well maintained and fully operational Luxemotor, with a 44 year licence on a residential mooring.
Alma has been extremely well fitted out, and finished throughout in oak and ash. Accommodation comprised a guest double cabin with en suite toilet, a large wheelhouse/summer lounge, well appointed kitchen, separate utility area, saloon, a second double bedroom, and a shower room with toilet and basin. There is built in storage throughout, has full diesel fired central heating, and there is also secondary double glazing for all windows.
The boat is fully operational, comes with all navigation equipment, generator, and a tender enabling you to anchor offshore. This beautiful houseboat is ideal cruising home package, able to use both tidal and non tidal waterways, with the benefit of your mooring always there should you wish to travel for long periods.
Alma was dry docked on May/June 2016, and had a full survey which will be available when viewing the boat, which was found to be in excellent condition. The hull was then painted and had new anodes fitted.
The boat comes with a 44 year mooring term, where instead of paying mooring fees of £1.60 per foot per week, you pay a maintenance charge of £70 per week, over the period this is a huge saving based on the mooring being 90', and that is without factoring in any potential increase in mooring rates over the period.
The Alma is a stunning home, fitted out with style and attention to detail, and together with the new survey and mooring lease is an impressive package. Available now due to ill health , this needs to be sold as a package.

Within walking distance there is a general store and restaurant/diner. There is a bus terminus with services to neighbouring areas. This popular village location provides something for everyone, with schools for all ages, restaurants and take aways, doctors, dentist, chemist, local shops, swimming pool and leisure centre. For car commuters you can be heading for the coast or London on the A2/M2 in under ten minutes. For rail commuters, the closest station will be Strood, where you can catch the high-speed service to London with a journey time of around forty minutes. Close to the river Medway with sailing facilities and many walks over open countryside.
