Broker's Comments

Boatshed Essex are pleased to be presenting this delightful Dutch Barge, with a stunning residential mooring, lying in Suffolk. An opportunity not to be missed.

This classic Dutch barge, was originally a sailing barge whose main cargo was potatoes from the fields around the canals and estuaries of Friesland, in the north-east of the Netherlands. She was converted to a houseboat in around 1975.

The owners purchased the barge in Holland and lovingly restored and updated the interior to create a comfortable houseboat in an idyllic location.

This lovely barge has a contemporary yet traditional feel, with a modern shower room with separate shower cubicle and electric toilet. A roomy fully equipped galley/kitchen area, which extends into the comfortable wheelhouse for relaxing and taking in the fabulous views. The master cabin has a standard double bed and the guest/second cabin has a double bed and a single bunk bed. The cabins are very comfortable.

There is a lovely outdoor cockpit area where you can sit and enjoy the views, and there is also a patio-style seating area on the ancient wooden barge that the barge is moored alongside.

The current owners have used this barge as an AirbnB, with great success, since bringing her to her current mooring. She is also equipped with a powerful diesel engine, for cruising the rivers. There is also free parking in a nearby car park, just 10 minutes walk away.

If you would like to arrange a viewing or have any questions please contact a member of the Boatshed Team and we would be pleased to help.
