This property is a unique offering – a converted Dutch barge situated in Port Medway Marina, Rochester. The houseboat has been renovated and presents a well-maintained interior, featuring a light and airy living space, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The interior design utilizes a considerable amount of wood which provides a warm and nautical feel, complemented by modern fixtures and fittings. The location offers the appeal of riverside living, within reasonable proximity to the amenities of Cuxton, including good primary schools (Cuxton Community Infant School and Cuxton Community Junior School both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and the Cuxton train station which provides convenient access to Southeastern rail services. This offers easy access to major towns and cities.

However, potential buyers should be mindful of the limitations that come with owning a houseboat. There is an absence of private land, meaning no garden or private outdoor space, and the potential for mooring fees and maintenance costs associated with a water-based property should be factored in. The property’s unique nature also means there aren’t readily available price comparisons, making valuation assessment less straightforward. The absence of land is a crucial consideration for those accustomed to traditional housing. Nonetheless, the property is a well-maintained and attractively presented example of a unique waterfront lifestyle.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
