4 bed houseboat for sale

Station Road, Cuxton, Kent ME2

Open to sensible offers

Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Eben Haezer, an exceptionally spacious and sympathetically converted Dutch barge, offering an incredible blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and full cruising capability. Moored on a secure residential berth with beautiful river views, this outstanding vessel also features independent living quarters, ideal for guests or rental income.

Accommodation & Layout
Eben Haezer is uniquely positioned on its own private pontoon within the marina, ensuring peace, privacy, and easy access. Accommodation is divided into two self-contained areas, allowing the forward section to function as a fully independent apartment without impacting the main living space - perfect for family, guests, or potential rental.

Wheelhouse & Forward Apartment
The collapsible wheelhouse provides panoramic views - ideal for both navigation and relaxation. Steps lead down to the former crew’s quarters, now transformed into a cosy self-contained apartment featuring a double berth, comfortable saloon with log burner, kitchenette, and a separate toilet (easily adaptable to a wet room).

Main Living Space
From the wheelhouse, steps lead into a cloakroom area with shower room (shower cubicle, hand basin, and new toilet), which also houses the diesel boiler for full central heating.
A short stairway opens into the main open-plan living area - a breathtaking space full of natural light and original character. The lounge features a multi-fuel stove that complements the central heating system, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The kitchen/diner is exceptionally well equipped, with ample work surfaces, plenty of storage, and appliances including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, lpg oven, and sink. The generous layout easily accommodates a large family dining table, making this a sociable and comfortable heart of the home.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
A corridor from the kitchen leads to three spacious bedrooms - two large doubles with excellent storage, and a third currently fitted with a hand-built single bed (easily convertible to a double).
To the aft, the family bathroom is beautifully fitted with a standalone bath, large walk-in shower, toilet, hand basin, and space for a washing machine. The décor throughout is stylish and neutral, with lovely flooring, good headroom, and skylights running the length of the boat for natural light and privacy.

Exterior & Mechanical Details
Externally, Eben Haezer offers generous deck space - perfect for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the serenity of the River Medway. The Mercedes-Benz diesel engine (165hp) provides ample power for cruising, while a Lister 13KVA generator supports onboard systems when underway.
The barge was dry docked in summer 2025, with a full survey available. The hull was repainted, and the interior redecorated, ensuring she is ready to enjoy immediately.
Eben Haezer is a remarkable Dutch barge that seamlessly combines historic craftsmanship with modern, versatile living. With its spacious interior, self-contained apartment, and full cruising capability, it offers a rare lifestyle opportunity - ideal for families, liveaboard owners, or those seeking a distinctive home with income potential.

A true one-of-a-kind vessel that must be seen to be appreciated.
The houseboat is freehold and the mooring is leasehold.
