1 bedroom houseboat for sale
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Pelican, a Thames Lighter ready to convert to a good sized home, set up to create its own power on an off grid mooring. The owner of the mooring has already made great improvements over the last year including improved access, parking bays, new gate and a water well.
The vessel has 3kw of solar panels, 1400 amp/h traction batteries for energy storage, an inverter/charger, a separate 24v high capacity charger and a petrol generator. The adding of a wind turbine would provide reliable power and negate the need of the generator.
Inside the hull the work thus far has been carried out to a good standard, with insulation, flooring and some wiring already in place. The large lounge has a good sized log burner, and has been fitted out to create a good living area, including double glazed windows. There is room on this level to create a good sized bedroom and a shower room and toilet. The steel deck would be ideal to build another level on, and make the most of the isolation and stunning views over the North Downs and river Medway.
This is an unusual and rare opportunity, and an exciting chance for anyone looking for peace and quiet, whilst creating a good sized, off grid home.

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
