About this property
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Wolfie, a delightful narrowboat project that can be a lovely home, currently on the hard standing to be completed.
Wolfie has a full survey available from August 2024 showing excellent thickness measurements throughout, and has been a home for a number of years for her current owners, who are selling due to emigration.
Wolfie is unusual in that she has a collapsible wheelhouse a third of the way down the boat, which means she can have a separate sleeping area rather than the current layout if needed.
The main cabin currently houses a fitted double bed, Moreso log burner, stand alone gas oven and hob, and a Thetford fridge. There is also a compartment ready to be fitted with a toilet and shower, the tray is already on the boat. Windows are double glazed, and this area has good headroom and has been well insulated.
The collapsible wheelhouse is a good size to both navigate from, or just sit and enjoy your surroundings. The smaller aft cabin could be a separate bedroom, or another lounge/dining area should you wish to continue with the current layout.
The water cooled Lister diesel engine starts straight away and has been very reliable. The hull has recently been blacked with new anodes fitted.
Wolfie still needs a fair amount of work, but can be lived on whilst this work is completed. Her current mooring is not residential, although there are options for residential moorings in the Medway area if needed. Alternatively you could complete the conversion where is and then use her to continuously cruise, where she would certainly stand out due to her unusual design and look.
Wolfie is a superb opportunity to create your own home, and is priced to sell taking into account the work needed to complete her. The houseboat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
