⚓ River Oak – One Bedroom Houseboat | Exciting Finishing Project | Secure Residential Mooring

    Premier Houseboats are pleased to present River Oak, a spacious one-bedroom houseboat currently undergoing refurbishment, now available due to a change in the owner’s circumstances.

   Originally purchased as a disused and dated vessel, River Oak has been completely gutted, reinsulated, rewired, and part-plumbed, providing an excellent foundation for completion into a comfortable and stylish home afloat.

​

🏠 Accommodation & Layout

The layout has been carefully planned to maximise light and living space, with internal partitions already in place to create:

A large double bedroom

An open-plan kitchen and lounge

A shower room

These partitions are ready to be boarded out, allowing a new owner to finish the project to their own taste and style.

​

Partial plumbing installed

New gas combi boiler already fitted

Shower, hand basin, toilet, and macerator unit boxed and ready to install

Once finished, River Oak will make a bright and spacious home, with estimated completion costs between £15,000 and £20,000, depending on materials and finish.

Her size ensures affordable ongoing running costs—including mooring fees and heating—without compromising on generous living space.
