2 bed houseboat for sale

Vicarage Lane, Rochester ME3

Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Apriori, a truly unique residential houseboat created from the centre section of a 160-foot Dutch barge. Measuring an impressive 63'5" x 17', Apriori offers generous living space, comfortable accommodation and exceptional development potential, making her an exciting opportunity for anyone looking to create a truly bespoke floating home.
Originally built in 1925, the vessel was converted into a residential houseboat in 2010 and further refitted in 2014. She is ready to move into immediately while offering enormous scope for future enhancement.
Entering into the spacious lounge, you are immediately struck by the impressive 11-foot headroom and the abundance of natural light provided by large windows across the front of the vessel. This welcoming living space offers plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining and is centred around a powerful log-burning stove with back boiler, keeping the home warm and comfortable throughout the year.
The well-appointed fitted kitchen provides generous worktop space, ample storage, a gas oven and hob with extractor, fridge/freezer and washing machine, making it practical for everyday living.
The spacious family bathroom is fitted with a full-size bath with shower attachment, wash basin and WC.
Towards the rear of the vessel are two comfortable double bedrooms, providing generous accommodation for owners and guests.
A staircase from the lounge leads to an extensive upper level currently used as storage and housing the hot water cylinder. With approximately 5 feet of headroom, this space offers enormous potential for redevelopment.
Subject to any necessary permissions, future owners could:
Create mezzanine bedrooms or additional living space
Raise the existing steel roof to provide full-height accommodation
Construct a spectacular roof terrace
Build a combination of additional accommodation and outdoor entertaining space
Whether you simply enjoy Apriori as she is or undertake an exciting conversion project, the possibilities are extensive.
