One Bedroom House Boat – Priory Marina – No Upward Chain

46ft 10" x 11ft 5" houseboat built by sw Durham Steelcraft Ltd in 2003 and offered to the market with no upward chain is this charming one-bedroom house boat, ideally positioned within the desirable Priory Marina. This unique floating home provides an excellent opportunity for those seeking a change of lifestyle, looking to downsize, or wanting a low-maintenance retreat while spending time abroad.

Access is via a secure remote-controlled entry system onto the private jetty. The boat features a wheelhouse, which offers a versatile space ideal for use as a home office, study, or additional storage.

Inside, there is a fitted kitchen with a freezer and microwave included, along with space for further appliances and a dining table. The shower room benefits from vanity storage and a flush toilet with built-in holding tank, while the comfortable sitting room features a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy living space. The sitting room flows through to the bedroom, which has opening doors leading out onto the bow, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding marina views.

The boat benefits from diesel-fired central heating, a hard-wired internet connection, and has no engine, meaning it is exempt from river licensing requirements.

A rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful waterside lifestyle in a unique and versatile home.
