1 bed houseboat for sale

High Street, Rochester ME1

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Filjec, an ex-pla (Port of London Authority) workboat that has been converted into a compact cruising houseboat or ideal weekend getaway vessel.
Located on a secure residential mooring in a small boatyard between Chatham and Rochester, Filjec benefits from easy access to shops, restaurants, and public transport - a convenient and central Medway location.
Filjec offers a spacious wheelhouse with panoramic river views - perfect for both navigation and relaxing when moored. Equipment includes a ship-to-shore radio, depth sounder, and fish finder.
Steps lead down to the main saloon, featuring built-in seating and a multifuel stove that efficiently heats the entire boat.
The galley is compact yet functional, with a sink, gas cooker, and worktop space with storage. Forward of the saloon is a wet room fitted with a sea toilet and shower.
A double berth is located beneath the wheelhouse (with limited headroom), providing comfortable sleeping accommodation for two.
Powered by an 85hp Ford d-4 diesel engine, Filjec delivers ample power for cruising.
Externally, there’s a pleasant deck seating area for enjoying views up and down the River Medway.
The mooring fees are just £730 per annum, an exceptional rate for a residential mooring in such a convenient location.
While Filjec would benefit from some internal refurbishment and modernisation, her combination of location, affordability, and cruising potential make her an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers or weekend boaters alike.

The houseboat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
