A unique opportunity to live in an amazing location on this well presented houseboat.

The boat has been with the current owners for fifteen years and the boat was originally built in 1945 in Grimsby.

The home is 50' in length and has a wooden hull with larch planks on oak timbers.

Set on a live-a-board mooring on the outskirts of Falmouth, this houseboat is a lovely home.

Viewers will be pleasantly surprised at the size, space and interior with fully fitted kitchen with LPG cooker, saloon with multi-fuel stove, two bedrooms and shower room (heating is provided from the multi-fuel stove).

There is an abundance of cleverly created storage throughout and a mains electric hook up and water supply.

If you are looking for a home, second home or holiday that connects with the natural environment, thus creating a sense of calm, then this is for you!

Located on the outskirts of Falmouth at Ponsharden Boatyard which also has parking, shower, WC and a washing machine, the 50' Ranger of Lune is moored halfway along in this idyllic spot on the Penryn estuary with views up the River Fal, Sailors Creek and across to Flushing.

The sunrise and sunsets are truly amazing we hear, creating a calm and tranquil environment, however, when required the Lidl and Sainsbury supermarket stores are just a walk away. Mains water and electric are supplied. Ponsharden Boatyard is located between Falmouth and Penryn with the A39 easily accessible.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
