River Barge Conversion Offering Surprising Space and Style

Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Poundland, an ingeniously designed and beautifully executed conversion of a compact river barge. Offering exceptional use of space, a bright and contemporary interior, and low ongoing costs, this unique home perfectly balances creativity with practicality.

🏡 Accommodation and Layout

Accessed via a decked exterior area, double doors open into a strikingly open-plan interior where clever design meets characterful living.

A walkway along one side leads to a mezzanine sleeping area above the kitchen, easily accommodating a double berth, with an additional single berth beneath the entry platform.

Steps descend into the main living area, which feels spacious and airy thanks to excellent headroom and a domed skylight that floods the space with natural light.

At the rear, the kitchen provides generous work surfaces and storage, maintaining both charm and functionality.

A hallway beyond the kitchen includes space for a washing machine, leading to the modern shower room with toilet, and a comfortable double bedroom featuring built-in storage and even a hidden sunken bath – a unique and luxurious touch rarely seen on a vessel of this size.

🌞 Outdoor Space and Construction

Externally, the boat offers a decked seating area at the bow, ideal for relaxing or outdoor dining. There’s also the potential to create a roof terrace, offering additional outdoor space to enjoy the surroundings.

Structurally, Poundland is in excellent order. In 2022, she was overplated up to the waterline with 6mm steel and fully repainted, ensuring a strong and low-maintenance hull for years to come.
