Character Houseboat - Fireflair

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Fireflair, a beautifully decorated static houseboat, offering character, space and economical living. Fireflair was originally commissioned by the war office, and has also seen active service as a fire boat on the Thames before being tastefully converted to a houseboat. The upstairs accommodation is split into two parts. The beautifully decorated lounge has space as well as a warm homely feel, with classic wooden panelled walls giving a traditional feel to the room. The many windows allow plenty of light. Next to this the owners have created a comfortable office area which can be separated from the main saloon when needed. Glass doors lead to a fitted kitchen/dining area, with plenty of work top and storage space. Again there are plenty of windows allowing lots of natural light and giving a light and airy feel. This kitchen comes with fridge, freezer and oven, and also has a log burner and space for a dining table.. A panelled stairway from this room leads to the downstairs accommodation. A door leads through to a large double bedroom, again beautifully fitted out with wooden panelling and plenty of built in storage. There are opening portholes on both sides, that not only provide light and airflow, but also act as an authentic reminder of the boats character and history. A door leads from this bedroom to another double bedroom also beautifully fitted out and with built in storage . A door leads from this room to a large storage area. A second door from the stairway leads to the family bathroom, extremely well fitted out in a U shape with the bath placed in the centre. The bathroom also has a toilet and hand basin, and a doorway leads from the bathroom to a utility room, that could also easily be a third bedroom. This area houses the washer and dryer. The boat is fully centrally heated using kerosene, and is extremely well insulated throughout, making it very economical to heat. All windows and doors are upvc double glazed units. The boat has comfortable deck space at both ends, and has been well maintained by the current owners, regularly dry docked to be painted and have anodes replaced when needed. This was last done in 2018. This is a lovely example of a well maintained and comfortable family home, at a very competitive price. Fire flair enjoys good accommodation which offers comfortable living, whilst retaining her character. ​ Vessel name: Fireflair Condition: good Builder: Hugh Mclean & sons ltd Constructed: 1955 Berths: 6 Cabins: 3 Length over all: 64' Beam: 16' Maximum draft: 4' Hull material: Steel Hull type: Modified Vee Fuel capacity: 100 Gallons Water capacity: 40 Gallons ​ Disclaimer Premier Houseboats offers the details of this advert in good faith as it was presented by the seller or his representative but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the described item within this advert.

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.
