Description

Claudia Houseboat is situated on the tidal River Medway accessed via a fixed jetty on the outer reach of Port Werburgh residential marina affording amazing tranquil estuary views. She is permanently moored in her location. Claudia has a superstructure over three floors consisting of a factory fabricated timber framed construction with supporting internal steel work, built upon a repurposed coastal cargo ship having come out of service in 2004. She is laid out with master bedroom suite with separate bathroom and reception area currently used as a home office, music studio, weights fitness area and lounge on the top floor enjoying panoramic views of the estuary with access to an enclosed private deck area. On the lower floor there is an additional spacious master bedroom along with 6 further double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The ground floor offers a large open space with kitchen area and dining island, a further more formal dining area and lounge for entertaining and relaxation. Off from this room is a multipurpose room for entertaining, with dance floor, cinema and indoor hot-tub. This space has also been used for fitness equipment and therapies. On the lower ground floor the current owners have space laid over to a large workshop. To the stern externally, there is additional space in what was the former ships quarters with multiple possibilities including the construction of separate accommodation should this be required. This space is currently used for storage. There is a further area in the bow section of the ship which would lend itself to storage if required or would facilitate a separate access route if there was as desire to split the main property into separate dwellings. Rental income could be generated from either or both of these possible options. There is a large roof area which would lend itself to an extensive solar panel array enabling energy self sufficiency. Over the last 15 years, this boat has provided a spacious and luxurious family home. The extensive south facing windows enable abundant solar warming throughout the year, the current owners enjoy the top level enclosed decking with far reaching estuary views, giving the feeling of always being on holiday.
