Zodiac offers a massive 44' by 14' lounge are, extremely well fitted out, and with plenty of windows for light. You enter the lounge through the wheelhouse/porch, and this incredible main living area opens up before you, and it also has doors to an outside terrace aft, a good sized space to enjoy the views along the Medway. Stairs from the lounge lead to the lower deck accommodation. This comprises two large double bedrooms, both with a large amount of fitted storage. The family bathroom has toilet, bath with shower attachment and hand basin. Also on this level is a good sized dining area, and a fully fitted kitchen, including a 6 burner range with double oven, and again plenty of storage and work surface. The entire lower deck has been well fitted out, and kept in excellent order. The engine room houses boiler, washer and dryer, and freezer. The engine is still in situ but not connected. It has not been used for many years, but could be brought back to working order if you are of a mind to do so. Zodiac benefits from upvc double glazing and diesel fired central heating throughout. Zodiac was originally a passenger ferry on the Thames until 1999 when she ceased service. She has a robust carvel built hull from pine, and upper strakes of Elm om Oak frames. Zodiac offers great space, wonderful character, and can continue to be a lovely family home. The price of Zodiac has been reduced considerably as the hull is now in need of some attention and she will need to be dry docked to be properly checked. She is still an incredible opportunity but is going to need some work, both externally and internally on the lower level,so as well as the drop in price the owners will consider sensible offers.

Houseboat for Completion - River Oak

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present River Oak, a good sized one bedroom houseboat, in need of finishing, which has become available due to the owners change of circumstances. River Oak was purchased as a disused and dated houseboat, and then completely gutted. She has been insulated throughout, and completely rewired. She has also been part plumbed. She has been partitioned to create a good size double bedroom, open plan kitchen/lounge and a shower room. These partitions need boarding out. There has been a new Gas Combi Boiler fitted, and the shower, hand basin, toilet and macerator unit are boxed and on the boat ready to be fitted. The piping for radiators is also on the boat. The current owner will be fitting four new windows at the front of the boat and one at the side. There is some welding needed along the waterline, and she is currently out of the water to enable any purchaser to do this work. River Oak offers the potential to be a good sized, and very light, static houseboat, with an estimate of £15k- £20K to finish her. Her size means that ongoing costs such as mooring fees and heating will be very much affordable, but do not compromise the excellent living space ************* boat is freehold and the residential mooring is leased.

Static ex Trawler to Complete - Sula

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Sula, a converted small trawler in need of finishing but offering a nice living area and structurally very sound. Sula has been, and still is, out of the water where the hull has been worked on and then painted, so is in excellent condition. The main structure has been fitted with all new double glazed units, the cladding has been 3/4 completed with the outstanding cladding ready to be fitted. Internally Sula has been fitted out in a mixture of contemporary and classic styles. There is a built in double berth with storage underneath, and a main living area with further storage, a small galley area, and saloon. Steps lead down to a front area currently used as storage, but with some work could become a good sized wetroom/toilet. Sula needs a form of heating and hot water provision, a cooker and a bathroom to be fully useable as a houseboat. A gas combi boiler could be fitted to provide this, with the storage space mentioned earlier ideal to create a wet room. There is a small amount of external space, and Sula's size means that ongoing costs such as mooring fees, heating etc are going to be very economical. A charming small houseboat with potential for improvement, a secure residential mooring and a very sound and well maintained hull, Sula could be a lovely home.
