Broker's Comments

Boatshed Essex are delighted to present this attractive Widebeam barge. The owners look to have taken great care in looking after and improving this platform for luxurious living. The boat has been tastefully completed to an extremely high standard throughout, providing an elegant floating home, getaway residence or even a commercial opportunity.

Benefitting from a recent professional refit, this boat has a spacious and open saloon, fully equipped galley and a separate king size cabin and second cabin/study. The open plan saloon and dining area are finished with solid oak floors and a warming Morso Squirrel log burning stove with further heating provided by centrally heated radiators throughout the boat. The galley also benefits from bespoke solid oak work surfaces and cupboards, providing plenty of work space and storage. The heads continues the theme of luxury and charm, complete with shower and heated towel rail, with a solid oak cabinet and counter top basin. Along the corridor is the master bedroom with a bespoke king sized bed with built in storage underneath and two built in wardrobes. This cabin also has a piece of reclaimed oak to form the headboard to make a beautiful feature. The engine room sits at the aft end of the boat and itself also provides some additional storage space. Finally, the second cabin provides a perfect space for use as a study or office area for home working.

In summary, this boat is a delightful opportunity to purchase a sailaway, floating home or holiday apartment, which is filled with comfort, style and reliability. Whether it's moored as a liveaboard or travelling the waterways, this boat could make dreams a reality. If you would like any further information, or to organise a personal viewing, then please contact our office and one of the team will be pleased to help.
