Description 
 
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present a recently out of service lightship, an amazing vessel in superb condition offering a huge amount of space for conversion internally, together with fantastic useable external space.
This lightship really is in incredible condition. There is a massive amount of useable space to create an extremely spacious and characterful family home, over three levels, with excellent headroom throughout.
The opportunity to convert such an iconic vessel to a luxury floating home does not come along too often, with lightships becoming rarer as technology moves forward, and so this chance to create such a home on a lightship in such good condition, on a secure residential mooring, represents great value for money as well as an outstanding opportunity.
Steel hulled lightships are traditionally extremely well built, the steelwork both internally and externally appears to be in excellent condition.
This lightship comes with all the solar panels, batteries and control equipment in place, which would have been in excess of £250k to set up originally. There is enough power there to easily become self sufficient with the addition of inverters.
This is an amazing opportunity, and the true scale of the lightship and its potential as a home must be viewed to be appreciated, as photographs alone cannot do it justice.
