Description
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present this good sized lighter on a residential mooring ready to convert and create the floating home of your dreams.
Finding an empty barge ready to convert on a residential mooring is a rare opportunity and therefore must be seen to be appreciated.
The barge is of a size that could create a good sized family home of three double bedrooms, at least one large bathroom and possibly an en-suite, and a large open plan kitchen/lounge on the upper level.
The internal measurements of the hold are 50' wide by 13'3" across, with headroom of 6'7". Bulkheads at either end could be cut through to utilise the space under the decks at each end, which measure 20' each. These decks can obviously be utilised to create good external space.
This is an excellent and rare opportunity to create your own home afloat.
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.
