Summary - ESSEX MARINA, CREEKSEA FERRY ROAD SS4 2HF
3 bed 1 bath House Boat
Ready-to-live waterfront home with three bedrooms and generous decks.
- Fully refurbished 65ft catamaran-style houseboat, completed 2007
A rare, fully refurbished 65ft catamaran-style houseboat moored at Essex Marina, offering a ready-to-live-on, low-fuss waterfront home. The interior is modern and well-fitted: bespoke kitchen with integrated appliances, three bedrooms across three levels, a contemporary bathroom and generous entertaining decks. Two well-maintained Ford Mermaid engines (under 200 hours) and twin bow thrusters add practical mobility and confidence for owners who understand marine upkeep.
The vessel is built from GRP fibreglass with marine-grade aluminium structure, completed in 2007 and renovated to a high standard. Heating is oil-fired with new radiators and marine-spec double-glazed aluminium windows for seasonal comfort. The marina provides mains electric and water hook-ups, communal parking, on-site café/bar and 24-hour security — useful conveniences for a moored home.
This property suits someone seeking a distinctive, downsized home or a standout investment in a seaside setting. Note the trade-offs: living on a boat requires ongoing maintenance, insurance and adherence to marina rules. There is a single family bathroom and the immediate neighbourhood is a sparsely settled, rural area with limited local amenities. Buyers should commission a marine survey and confirm any mooring or running costs before purchase.
In short, this is a move-in-ready floating home with modern finishes and strong build quality, ideal for a buyer who values a waterside lifestyle and accepts the practical responsibilities of boat ownership.
