Broker's Comments
Rarely does a vessel come to market that so perfectly captures the romance of life on the water. This houseboat is a magnificent 67-foot steel barge dating from the 1920s — a working boat transformed, over nearly a decade of patient, passionate renovation, into one of the most beautifully considered floating homes we have had the pleasure of bringing to market.
The work has been carried out by the current owners — an interior designer and a skilled carpenter — and it shows in every detail. This is not a quick cosmetic refresh; it is a thoughtful, thorough reimagining of a historic hull, executed to a standard that many a shoreside property would struggle to match.
Step aboard and into a generous open-plan living and kitchen space that immediately sets the tone. The kitchen is Harvey Jones bespoke throughout, featuring quartz worktops, shaker and flat-fronted cabinetry, and premium appliances including a dishwasher. The living area is anchored by a cast-iron log burner — the ideal companion on a crisp riverside evening — while engineered oak flooring and electric heated ceilings ensure comfort is never compromised. Light, warmth, and a quiet sense of style pervade the whole space.
The master bedroom is a genuine retreat, with generous storage and a well-designed walk-in wardrobe area. The second bedroom offers flexibility to suit its new owners, whether as a guest room, nursery, or bespoke sleeping space. The luxury bathroom is a particular highlight, housing both a freestanding roll-top bath and a glass-walled shower — a combination that would not look out of place in a boutique hotel.
Practical needs are well served too: mains water and electricity are connected, BT broadband is installed, and a utility and storage room keeps life aboard neat and manageable.
Above it all, the sun deck is simply spectacular. Panoramic views sweep across the Hamble River — one of the South Coast's most loved waterways — and the deck provides ample space for al fresco dining, summer entertaining, or simply watching the tides and the sailing traffic drift by.
This houseboat lies in the picturesque village of Bursledon, a short distance from waterfront restaurants, independent shops, and miles of scenic walking. The residential mooring is transferable or for the adventurous buyer — relocation can be accommodated, subject to costs.
In short: this houseboaty is not just a home. She is a way of life. Viewing is not merely recommended — it is essential.
