Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Filjec, an ex PLA work boat converted to a small cruising houseboat or weekend boat. The mooring is a small boatyard located between Chatham and Rochester and is therefore extremely handy for shops, restaurants, public transport etc.
Internally Filjec offers a good sized wheelhouse with panoramic views, ideal for navigational purposes and also great as a day saloon when moored. Equipment comprises ship to shore radio, depth sounder and fish finder.Steps lead down to the main saloon, which has built in seating and a small multifuel stove that heats the entire boat.
There is a small galley area with sink and gas cooker, and some work surface and storage. Forward from the main saloon is a wet room with sea toilet and shower. back from the main saloon underneath the wheelhouse is a double berth but without full headroom.
The 85 hp Ford diesel engine provides plenty of power when cruising. Externally there is a good sized seating area which enables you to enjoy your surroundings, with some stunning views up and down the river. Ongoing mooring fees are only £730 pa, which is incredible value for a mooring with residential permission.
Obviously Filjec could benefit from some internal refurbishment and modernisation, however her location, ongoing fees and cruising capability make her an extremely affordable and attractive opportunity. The houseboat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
