Set on a classic 1923 riveted steel barge, this two-cabin Dutch vessel combines period character with practical modern living. The bright, above-deck open-plan living and dining area doubles as the wheelhouse, offering panoramic riverside views and a welcoming space for relaxing or entertaining. The large rear deck expands usable outdoor living and captures the tranquil riverside aspect.
Below deck houses a well-equipped kitchen, a generous master bedroom with en suite, and a second cabin plus family bathroom—arranged efficiently within approximately 858 sq ft. At 19.23m long with a 0.85m draft and adjustable air draught, the boat is set up for both residential life and cruising, giving flexibility to owners who wish to relocate by water.
There are practical considerations to note: mooring is not included, and utilities, council tax, mooring fees and ongoing maintenance will depend on final berth. The vessel benefits from zero-rated VAT as a qualifying ship under HMRC rules for many onboard works and services—buyers and contractors must retain appropriate documentation to support the exemption. Flooding risk is medium in this area, and ceiling heights are limited in parts below deck, which is typical for converted barges.
Overall, Sudersea suits buyers seeking a characterful riverside home with cruising capability and large outdoor space. It offers a rare waterside lifestyle in a very affluent, village setting close to good schools, strong broadband and excellent mobile signal, but requires budgeting for mooring and ongoing boat-specific upkeep.
