1 bed houseboat for sale

Vicarage Lane, Port Werburgh, Rochester ME3

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Maggie, a beautifully refurbished and strengthened one-bedroom static home, originally built in 2018 and now offered on a secure residential mooring. Thoughtfully redesigned and upgraded throughout in 2024, Maggie provides comfortable and economical waterside living, ideal as a full-time home or peaceful retreat.
Originally designed as a compact, affordable floating home, Maggie had fallen into disrepair over time. Her current owners have lovingly restored her from the hull up, with significant structural strengthening, internal refurbishment, and modern upgrades throughout. Their change of circumstances now presents an opportunity for a new owner to enjoy this impressive floating home, which is virtually turnkey ready.
Maggie offers bright and practical accommodation with excellent use of space:
Spacious double bedroom with new pine panelling and fresh flooring
Bathroom with new bath, macerator toilet, hand basin, and new wall panelling and plastic tiles
Open-plan kitchen and lounge area, featuring:
Brand-new gas oven and hob (jets require conversion to lpg)
New plastic wood-effect flooring with five access hatches to the bilges
Patio doors leading to a small deck area, with steps to the railed roof terrace - ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing
Large double-glazed windows throughout provide plenty of natural light, giving the home a bright and airy atmosphere.
Maggie has undergone a complete rebuild and refit, including:
New fibreglass roof with added insulation
Fully rewired throughout
New internal ceilings, doors, and pine wall panelling
New macerator for the toilet and sump pump for the bath
Hull straightened, strengthened, and internally re-fibreglassed
Four new bilge pumps, with bilges linked for even water flow
Waste pipes raised to accommodate new hull structure and stability improvements
Front and rear decks rebuilt, strengthened, and fibreglassed
Roof terrace fitted with new railings and outdoor furniture
The only remaining work required is fitting a new boiler and casing, as the previous unit was mounted externally.
Maggie sits on a secure residential mooring in a well-connected village setting. Within walking distance you’ll find a general store, restaurant/diner, and bus terminus with services to nearby areas.
The village offers schools for all ages, shops, doctors, dentist, chemist, restaurants, takeaways, and a swimming pool and leisure centre.
For commuters:
The A2/M2 is less than 10 minutes away, giving easy access to London or the Kent coast.
Strood Station offers high-speed rail services to London in around 40 minutes.
Close to the River Medway, with local sailing facilities and scenic countryside walks nearby.
Maggie is a fantastic example of an affordable and efficient floating home, combining comfort, practicality, and modern design. With extensive recent refurbishment and a secure mooring, she offers low maintenance, low running costs, and an inviting way to enjoy life afloat.
The houseboat is freehold and the residential mooring leasehold.
