1 bed houseboat for sale

Vicarage Lane, Port Werburgh, Rochester ME3

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Glen Markie, a static motor cruiser converted to create a contemporary floating home. Glen Markie was purchased in 2021 by her current owner as a shell, and has been thoughtfully converted since then to create a lovely home. Her previous owner was a professional welder who completely replaced the original hull. At that point there was a survey carried out which is available. The accommodation comprises a good sized double cabin, with double bed and wardrobe. The galley has a washing machine, fridge/freezer, sink, gas oven and hob, with plenty of work surface and storage. The main living area has a wonderful log burning stove that heats the entire boat, and comes with the furniture pictured. There is a new boiler that has been fitted, this needs some finishing and plumbing before it can be used to supply hot water to the two new radiators fitted in the bedroom and the saloon. The boat has been completely rewired, fully insulated and has new panelling throughout, with only a small amount of panelling work needed once the plumbing for the boiler has been completed. Glen Markie is light inside with lots of windows and has a very modern feel. Externally she has been painted and had new anodes fitted, with the back deck laid with astro turf, and she has deck furniture to create an enjoyable space on which to enjoy your surroundings. Glen Markie comes on a secure residential mooring, fees are £1.75 per foot of length per week based on a minimum length of 40 feet, paid 4 weekly with unlimited mains water (£5.50 per week) and a metered 16 amp mains electric supply. The marina is a very safe, secure and friendly place to live with around 400 permanent residents.
Glen Markie offers a great opportunity to live afloat, and is very much an affordable home both to buy and run. The boat is freehold and the residential mooring is lease hold.
Within walking distance there is a general store and restaurant/diner. There is a bus terminus with services to neighbouring areas. This popular village location provides something for everyone, with schools for all ages, restaurants and take aways, doctors, dentist, chemist, local shops, swimming pool and leisure centre. For car commuters you can be heading for the coast or London on the A2/M2 in under ten minutes. For rail commuters, the closest station will be Strood, where you can catch the high-speed service to London with a journey time of around forty minutes.
