Steel Barge Rare Residential Mooring Opportunity

Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Lighter 2, a substantial steel lighter on a secure residential mooring, offering a rare opportunity to create a bespoke floating home.

    Finding an empty barge ready for conversion on a residential mooring is increasingly uncommon, and Lighter 2 represents an exciting blank canvas for anyone wishing to design their ideal waterside property.

​

🏠 Space & Potential

  At 91ft in length and 17ft in beam, this impressive vessel offers generous proportions and exceptional potential. The internal hold measures approximately 50ft x 13ft 3in, with a headroom of 6ft 7in, providing ample space for a large open-plan living area, three double bedrooms, and one or two bathrooms—depending on your chosen layout.

  Bulkheads at each end could be opened to access the 20ft deck spaces fore and aft, ideal for creating additional accommodation or outdoor entertaining areas.

  With her solid steel hull and flat base, Lighter 2 offers a sturdy foundation for a spacious, comfortable home afloat.
