WOLFIE - £24,995

🛶 Wolfie – Characterful Narrowboat Project with Collapsible Wheelhouse

   Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Wolfie, a charming and unusual narrowboat project currently on hard standing, offering an excellent opportunity to complete a comfortable and distinctive floating home.

​

⚙️ Overview

  Wolfie benefits from a recent full survey (August 2024) showing excellent hull thickness readings throughout. She has been a well-loved home for a number of years, now offered for sale due to her owners’ emigration plans.

 One of Wolfie’s standout features is her collapsible wheelhouse, located about a third of the way down the boat. This versatile feature provides both a sheltered navigation area and the potential to create separate living and sleeping spaces — a rare feature for a vessel of this size.

​

🏡 Accommodation & Layout

The main cabin is bright and well insulated, featuring:

A fixed double bed

Morso solid fuel stove for cosy heating

Stand-alone gas oven and hob

Thetford fridge

Double-glazed windows throughout

A compartment ready for a toilet and shower installation, with the shower tray already onboard

The wheelhouse offers generous space for navigation or relaxing, and can be collapsed for bridge clearance.

The aft cabin can serve as a second sleeping area, lounge, or dining space, offering flexibility depending on your preferred layout.

​

🛠️ Mechanical & Structural

Lister diesel engine (water-cooled) – starts reliably and runs smoothly

Hull blacked recently, with new anodes fitted

Excellent hull condition confirmed by recent survey

On hard standing for easy access during completion

​

🌊 Mooring & Lifestyle

  The current mooring is non-residential, but residential options are available nearby in the Medway area if required. Alternatively, Wolfie could be completed and used as a continuous cruiser, ideal for those seeking an adventurous and flexible lifestyle on the water.

  Her compact size and distinctive wheelhouse design make her particularly well suited for this purpose.
