Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Three double bedrooms.
  • No onward chain.
  • Unique opportunity.
  • Featured in George Clarke Amazing Spaces.
Currently moored on The River Waveney, originally built as a Humber Keel barge in around 1912, Manoah is a historic barge that has been thoughtfully converted into a comfortable floating home. Her transformation was featured in the George Clarke Amazing Spaces television programme.

With a beautifully light and airy interior, this boat must be seen to be fully appreciated. She is fully equipped with every convenience required for a life afloat.

From the bow there is a large self-draining fore deck. Here the fixed steel wheelhouse houses the galley/ dining area with built in solid beech cupboards and worktops and a butchers block with ample room for dining too.
Stairs lead down from the wheelhouse galley to the deck below into the generous, open plan saloon, living area. This area boasts a solid oak plank floor with under floor heating and a fire solid fuel stove. Along with 5 solid brass side opening portholes there is also a built-in skylight for the saloon allowing natural light into this space.
Located at the forward end of the barge are the two carpeted bedrooms. On this level you will also find the cabin bathroom, featuring a cast iron roll top bath, and the third bedroom with built in double bed and storage.

SERVICES
Water currently supplied from mains supply. Water is heated by gas fired combi boiler. Heating is provided by solid fuel stove and gas fired combi boiler which runs under floor heating. Electricity is via 240V supply from landline with RCD. Propane gas cylinders housed in the stern locker provider gas to cooker and boiler. (Durrants has not tested any apparatus, equipment, fittings or services and so cannot verify they are in working order.)

VIEWING
Strictly by appointment with the agent's Beccles Office.

AGENTS NOTES
Please note prospective purchasers will need to arrange moorings. Vendors have advised the same mooring (at a farm just outside Beccles) maybe able to be maintained for mooring but this would need to be agreed via separate negotiations directly with the land owners - details of which can be provided upon request.

    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
