Are you looking for the perfect home on the water? Look no further than this exceptional houseboat, a floating oasis that offers a truly unique lifestyle. Previously, while moored in London, this extraordinary barge hosted a successful AirBnB business, and similar vessels in the area command up to £2,500 a week during the vibrant summer season.
Situated just a 5-minute boat ride or a short car journey away, you’ll discover the enchanting market town of Beccles. Indulge in the delights of fantastic bakeries, cozy coffee shops, well-stocked supermarkets, and captivating antique shops. For a truly magical experience, take a blissful 20-minute riverside walk along the scenic Waveney River, immersing yourself in the tranquility of the surroundings.
Venture a mere 20 minutes by car, and a world of glorious beaches along the Norfolk and Suffolk Coasts unfolds before you. Revel in the sandy shores of Southwold, uncover the hidden gem of Covehithe beach, or explore the coastal wonders of Lowestoft. And if you’re seeking unparalleled beauty, venture a little further to the awe-inspiring North Norfolk Coast.
As you step inside, prepare to be amazed by the sheer spaciousness of this incredible barge. Visitors often exclaim, “It’s bigger than my house!” With generous dimensions of 75ft x 15ft and ample head height throughout, finding a barge as roomy as this one is a rarity.
The abundance of natural light is another great feature. The kitchen-diner, bathed in sunlight from five directions, boasts a large rectangular skylight in the roof and an array of windows and French doors, creating a bright and airy ambiance. Adding to the enchantment, the barge boasts 13 vintage Rostand portholes salvaged from a decommissioned US Navy ship. On sunny days, the reflections of light dancing on the water and cascading onto the ceiling are simply delightful.
Enter the wheelhouse through the fore or aft doors to discover the inviting kitchen-diner, adorned with elegant oak flooring, a charming butler sink, and all necessary white goods included. Descend further, and you’ll be struck by the grandeur of the living room. Featuring the same oak flooring, large multifuel stove, and adorned with portholes and skylights, this serene space exudes warmth and brightness, inviting you to relax and unwind.
To ensure your comfort, the barge features underfloor heating throughout the downstairs, making it a cozy haven in any season.
