About this property
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Velaire, a Powles 46 cruiser on a secure residential mooring. Velaire offers an impressive amount of living space, and although in need of some internal aesthetic updating can be lived on comfortably whilst this is being completed.
Velaire offers a good sized aft cabin, a large, light and airy saloon, a well equipped galley, wet room and second double cabin. There is good headroom throughout with plenty of light. There is a good sized multi fuel burner that can heat the entire boat, and a gas water heater for hot water.
There is a gas oven and hob, fridge, and washing machine, There is a good sized navigation area that can be used as a day lounge, with canopy that can be opened up on the warmer days, Externally there is a good amount of deck space, currently this has astro turf on it. Mechanically the two Cummins diesel engines offer plenty of power, however these will need servicing and some maintenance as the boat has been used solely as a static home in recent years.
Velaire offers a good amount of living space, the potential to cruise, and with a relatively small amount of work could be an amazing floating home, a genuine affordable home in both the purchase price and ongoing fees.
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. Close to the river Medway with sailing facilities and many walks over open countryside.
The houseboat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
