PERCH - £240,000

Stunningly Spacious Three-Level Houseboat Conversion – Ideal Family Home

Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Perch, a beautifully designed and exceptionally spacious houseboat conversion, offering extraordinary living space across three levels. This unique floating home combines the comfort of a large family property with the charm and tranquillity of life on the water.
Thoughtfully laid out, Perch provides versatile and generous accommodation, with external access around each level and the potential to tailor areas to suit your own lifestyle.

Accommodation
-Top Level
Three large bedrooms, including one with en suite bathroom
Family bathroom and dedicated office/study
Bright lounge with doors leading to a private terrace
-Middle Level
Additional bedrooms and a second lounge area
Spacious kitchen/diner, fully fitted and ideal for entertaining
Toilet and access to the main terrace overlooking the marina — perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation
-Lower Level

There are two stairways between each level for safety and convenience, gas-fired central heating throughout, and UPVC double-glazed windows for warmth and efficiency.

Condition & Potential
Perch is structurally sound and well-maintained, with the current owner addressing any previous issues to ensure peace of mind. While the vessel would benefit from final finishing touches, these are cosmetic only — allowing the next owner to add their own personal style to this remarkable floating home.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family residence offering unparalleled space and comfort, for a fraction of the cost of an equivalent home on land.
Perch must be viewed to truly appreciate the scale, flexibility, and lifestyle it offers.

Location
Located in a popular and well-connected village, Perch is just a short walk from a general store, restaurant/diner, and bus terminus serving neighbouring areas. The village offers schools for all ages, doctors, dentist, chemist, local shops, and a swimming pool and leisure centre.
For commuters, the A2/M2 is less than ten minutes away, providing easy access to London or the coast, while Strood Station offers high-speed rail links to London in around 40 minutes. The area’s proximity to the River Medway provides excellent sailing facilities and scenic countryside walks.
