1 bed houseboat for sale

Borstal, Rochester ME1

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Rosa, a 60ft narrowboat offering spacious accommodation and great potential, located on a secure residential mooring. Recently taken out of the water in 2024, she has undergone significant updates including a full rewire (240V & 12V) and the installation of 14 new anodes. A recent survey is available to view.
Rosa offers a generous and well-planned layout, providing excellent potential to create a comfortable and characterful home afloat.
Aft Double Cabin: A large and light-filled bedroom featuring a built-in double bed with extensive under-bed and side storage. The roof hatch will need replacing - an ideal opportunity to fit an opening skylight for additional light and ventilation.
Bathroom: Centrally positioned, fitted with a good-sized shower cubicle, composting toilet, and hand basin.
Galley: A spacious and practical kitchen area with ample work surface and storage, including a fridge and freezer and space for an oven. A brand-new gas combi boiler has been installed (requiring final plumbing), easily capable of running radiators for central heating if desired.
Saloon: A bright and airy living space with a solid wood floor, built-in storage, and plenty of room for a log burner. Currently heated by two gas heaters, this area could easily be transformed into a warm and welcoming living area.
Powered by a Lister LPWS4 (40hp) diesel engine, Rosa offers reliable performance for her size. She last cruised under her own power approximately a year ago; a service is recommended if you wish to cruise regularly.
Structurally and mechanically sound, she requires only some internal finishing and external painting to become a charming full-time or weekend home.
Situated within a quiet and friendly residential marina, Rosa benefits from a secure environment and convenient local amenities.
Rosa represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious and affordable narrowboat on a secure residential mooring. With a solid hull, a recent survey, new wiring, and anodes, she’s structurally ready - requiring only light internal finishing to create a cosy, low-cost floating home.
