A rare 1931 Dutch barge moored at Penton Hook Marina, offering distinctive waterside living and generous deck space. The 91ft by 17ft steel-hulled vessel combines traditional character, multiple cabins and a fully equipped galley — suitable for living aboard or long-stay leisure use.
The marina provides strong practical support: modern facilities, on-site boatyard services, pump-out stations, fuel and a private yacht club. Excellent transport links to London and nearby Staines-on-Thames add everyday convenience while local schools and low crime rates suit families or downsizers seeking a quieter riverside lifestyle.
Important practical points: this is a non-traditional tenure houseboat with very high annual mooring/service charges (approx £18,187.70). The location carries a high flooding risk and the vessel shows signs consistent with older boats (possible damp areas, low internal ceilings and smaller room sizes) — some refurbishment and ongoing maintenance should be expected.
This property will appeal to buyers prioritising unique character, river-based leisure and long-term potential rather than conventional floorplan or ground-level garden space. It presents a lifestyle purchase with clear running costs and some retrofit work likely required to modernise interiors and address typical boat maintenance needs.
