Rare Residential Concrete Barge with Exceptional Potential

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present this extremely rare open concrete barge, offered on a secure residential mooring and providing a unique opportunity to create a bespoke floating home.

   Believed to have been constructed during the Second World War, this substantial barge offers enormous conversion potential. With an impressive wide beam and approximately 8 feet of internal headroom, the vessel provides a vast internal footprint, ideal for the creation of a three to four bedroom family home.

   A major advantage of this vessel is its ferro-cement construction, meaning it does not require the regular hull maintenance associated with steel barges — offering significant long-term savings in both cost and inconvenience.

Opportunities of this nature are exceptionally rare. Most concrete barges constructed during the war period were tanker-style vessels, making an open barge of this size, in good condition and with a secure residential mooring, particularly desirable.

📍 Location

The mooring is situated in a popular and well-served village location. Within walking distance are a general store and restaurant/diner, along with a bus terminus providing services to neighbouring areas.

The village offers a wide range of amenities including schools for all ages, doctors, dentist, chemist, local shops, restaurants and takeaways, as well as a swimming pool and leisure centre.

For commuters, the A2/M2 is less than ten minutes away, providing quick access to both London and the coast. Strood Station offers high-speed rail services to London with journey times of approximately 40 minutes. The River Medway, sailing facilities, and open countryside walks are also close by.
