1 bedroom houseboat for sale
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Maggie, a static home originally built in 2018 and now completely refurbished and strengthened and on a secure residential mooring.
Maggie was originally designed as an economical one bedroomed floating home but over the years had fallen into disrepair. Her current owners purchased her as a project to create a base in the UK, however a change of circumstances has meant that they are now reluctantly putting her up for sale.
Maggie offers a good sized double bedroom, bathroom with bath, hand basin and toilet, and a kitchen/lounge area. Patio doors lead from the lounge to a small deck area with stairs leading to a railed roof terrace. Maggie has lots of windows throughout, all double glazed units offering plenty of light.
Maggie has a new fibreglass roof with extra insulation, and new plastic wood effect flooring throughout ( with 5 access hatches to the bilges). There is new ceiling throughout, new pine panelling and new internal doors. The bathroom has new walls and new plastic tiles. There is a new macerator fitted for the toilet, and a new sum pump for the bath.
There is a new gas oven and hob ( jets need changing to LPG) , and the only thing Maggie now needs is a new boiler and casing as the current boiler is situated outside. Maggie has been completely rewired.
The hull has been straightened, strengthened and had new layers of fibre glass placed internally. There are 4 new bilge pumps and all bilges have been wrapped in fibreglass and linked so water can flow between them. All waste pipes have been placed higher due to the strengthening adding extra weight for stability when floating. Front and back decks have been rebuilt, fibre glassed and strengthened. The roof terrace now has new furniture and railings to create a lovely outside area in which to enjoy your surroundings.
Maggie is a fantastic example of an economical static floating home, cheap to moor and heat, low maintenance and with great use of both internal and external space. The houseboat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
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.
