| Historic Tug to Convert
£34,950 |
 |
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present TID172, an historic tug on a residential mooring ready to convert to a character home. TID 172 was one of 183 tugs built between 1943 and 1946 to replace tugs lost through enemy action in World war II, and also to assist the preparations for the invasion of France.
TID 172 is now on a residential mooring in a small working boatyard on the river Medway, and with some thought and work can be a home of real character. The engines are still in place however she does not currently run due to issues with the boiler. There is plenty of room to work with to create a unique home, there is also the option of removing the engines to create more room and a freer flowing accommodation. There is currently a good sized forward cabin, a small deck level galley, and a small deck level shower and toilet. There is also a wheelhouse which could be extended to create further accommodation.There is further space available next to the engine room to create even more living area.
Externally there is some good outside space to enjoy the surroundings. The tug itself was out of the water in 2018 and after survey it had some plating work done, and so the hull is still in good condition with excellent thicknesses.
This is a great opportunity to create a wonderful character home. |

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present the Rochester Queen, an ex event venue boat, that could be put back to being a venue with a relatively small amount of updating, or converted to create an amazing houseboat. This incredible opportunity now comes on a secure residential mooring.
Rochester Queen offers incredible space over three levels, the top two levels have an incredible amount of light due to the many windows, and there is also excellent headroom on all three levels.There are three bars, and an industrial kitchen capable of catering for the large gatherings The Rochester Queen was used to hosting.
There is a heating system in place however a new boiler will be needed. Externally there are three outside deck areas where you can enjoy your surroundings in comfort wherever you are moored. The Rochester Queen is an impressive looking vessel. Although no longer able to cruise, as a static vessel on the right mooring she could be an excellent business opportunity. Converted to a houseboat she could be a stunning, spacious and unique property.
Opportunities to purchase a historic vessel such as The Rochester Queen come up very rarely, and viewing to appreciate the space available, whether as a houseboat or as a venue, is recommended.
She is on the historic ships register, below is a brief history :
In 1935, a formidable competitor to Royal Lady arrived in the form of the Coronia (1), built by Warren's New Holland Shipyard on the Humber Estuary. Although of similar layout to the 1934 Royal Lady, she only had one funnel, which was positioned too far aft for symmetry. Coronia (1) was owned by Jack Ellis, and her original livery was a yacht-like white, later with a pale yellow funnel. She had a gross tonnage of 227 and an overall length of 130 ft, and carried 475 passengers on a Class 3 Certificate. Her engines were supplied by the National Gas & Oil Company of Ashton-under-Lyne, a company not normally associated with marine installations. She was capable of 13.5 knots, a lot faster than her initial competitor Royal Lady. In 1937, Coronia (1) reappeared with two funnels like her competitor. These were initially pale (yellow?) in colour, but later became red with a black top. In 1938 she had a more equal competitor in the New Royal Lady, which matched her is size and speed. However, in pre-war years there was more than enough custom for two such fine vessels.
During the war Coronia (1) served as HMS Coronia, in the Humber, Scotland and on the South Coast, latterly as part of Force Pluto which laid and maintained the cross-channel oil pipelines. She was refitted in 1945, returning to Scarborough in July of that year. The dummy funnel had been removed during the war. Coronia's colours were now modelled on the Union-Castle Line, with a lavender hull and retaining the red and black funnel (although I do not have a card in this condition). The funnel later became a paler colour (yellow?). Her first post-war competition did not arrive until 1951, when the Yorkshire Lady arrived. The same year saw the death of Jack Ellis, and the sale of Coronia (1) to Jack Johnson, who owned her with his son Martin until 1966. She was given an attractive new colour scheme with a pale blue funnel and black top, separated by a broad white band. The hull was white with red boot topping. Further competition arrived in 1952, in the form of the Regency Belle, which had run at Brighton in 1951, and moved to Torquay for the 1955 season. In 1954 the Regal Lady had joined the others at Scarborough, which had four excursion ships for this season only.
Coronia was placed on the sales list in 1966, and was sold to Croson Ltd of Bournemouth. She left Scarborough in May 1968, becoming the Bournemouth Queen. She operated cruises from Poole via Bournemouth to the Isle of Wight and occasionally Southampton. Bournemouth Queen was sold again in 1973 to Sir Robert McAlpine, for use as the ferry Queen of Scots between Rothesay and the oil rig construction site at Ardyne Point, work which continued until June 1977. On 15th July 1977, the paddle steamer Waverley ran aground off Dunoon, and was withdrawn for repairs. Queen of Scots was chartered to maintain services for the season. The following years Queen of Scots continued Clyde cruising under the ownership of B& B Cruising, but this company was forced into bankruptcy in 1980.
In 1982, the London restaurateur David Law purchased the laid up Queen of Scots and moved under tow to Gravesend where she was refitted as the Rochester Queen (4). Her engines were removed at this time, and are now in the Science Museum in London. The restaurant failed in 1993, and Rochester Queen (4) was sold the following year and moved to the Medway Yacht Club as a floating club house. |

Zodiac offers great space, wonderful character, and can continue to be a lovely family home.
The price of Zodiac has been reduced considerably as the hull is now in need of some attention and she will need to be dry docked to be properly checked. She is still an incredible opportunity but is going to need some work, both externally and internally on the lower level,so as well as the drop in price the owners will consider sensible offers. |

| Stunning Lightship for conversion
£240,000 |
 |
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. |

| Characterful Tug for conversion
£75,000 |
 |
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Napia, a tug recently out of service because of engine issues, but structurally in very good condition, and available on a secure residential mooring.
Napia has the potential to be lived on as is, or offers the potential to have the engine and related machinery removed to create further living space. Current accommodation includes galley and dining area, wheelhouse, shower room and toilet and three separate cabins. These are all fitted out as they were when Napia was working, and can be comfortably used as a characterful home as is or refitted if preferred.
The engine room is a large space with excellent headroom throughout. We are advised it is unlikely that the current machinery can be repaired, and so the opportunity here would be to have the machinery taken out to create further accommodation. This could create a stunning and spacious home internally, whilst keeping the look or a working boat externally.
There is a good amount of useable external space on two levels, and Napia comes on a secure residential mooring with outstanding views across the river Medway.
Napia is a wonderful opportunity to create a spacious and characterful home at a very affordable price,and appears to be in excellent structural condition throughout. |

| Converted Workboat
£24,995 |
 |
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Filjec, an ex PLA work boat converted to a small cruising houseboat or weekend boat. The mooring is a small boatyard located between Chatham and Rochester and is therefore extremely handy for shops, restaurants, public transport etc.
Internally Filjec offers a good sized wheelhouse with panoramic views, ideal for navigational purposes and also great as a day saloon when moored. Equipment comprises ship to shore radio, depth sounder and fish finder.Steps lead down to the main saloon, which has built in seating and a small multifuel stove that heats the entire boat.
There is a small galley area with sink and gas cooker, and some work surface and storage. Forward from the main saloon is a wet room with sea toilet and shower. back from the main saloon underneath the wheelhouse is a double berth but without full headroom.
The 85 hp Ford diesel engine provides plenty of power when cruising. Externally there is a good sized seating area which enables you to enjoy your surroundings, with some stunning views up and down the river. Ongoing mooring fees are only £730 pa, which is incredible value for a mooring with residential permission.
Obviously Filjec could benefit from some internal refurbishment and modernisation, however her location, ongoing fees and cruising capability make her an extremely affordable and attractive opportunity. |

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present The Sovereign, originally built as a Rhine Cruiser, that has also been a Thames ferry and a floating hotel, and now ready to be refurbished to create a spacious family home.
The Sovereign offers incredibly spacious accommodation over 3 levels. It could be converted to a houseboat for one family, it could be refurbished and used as a business, or because of its size it could have a self contained facility for rental and still be a sizeable houseboat for a family.
There are currently 3 large reception rooms, 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms/en-suites, which can be changed about depending on your requirements. there is a good amount of windows on all levels so the accommodation is light, and there is also good headroom throughout.
Externally there is a good amount of useable space with which to enjoy your surroundings, especially on the top deck where there is also a wheelhouse.
The Sovereign has had her price dropped considerably, the owners have taken into account the need for internal refurbishment, and possibly some work on the hull, when doing so. Because of this The Sovereign offers huge potential as either a full time home or business, at an incredible price. Although any potential buyer is welcome to have a survey, the price will not be subject to survey.
Offering incredible value for money, and an impressive amount of space, The Sovereign really could be a stunning home or prosperous business. |

| Houseboat for Completion
£38,000 |
 |
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present River Oak, a good sized one bedroom houseboat, in need of finishing, which has become available due to the owners change of circumstances.
River Oak was purchased as a disused and dated houseboat, and then completely gutted. She has been insulated throughout, and completely rewired. She has also been part plumbed. She has been partitioned to create a good size double bedroom, open plan kitchen/lounge and a shower room. These partitions need boarding out.
There has been a new Gas Combi Boiler fitted, and the shower, hand basin, toilet and macerator unit are boxed and on the boat ready to be fitted. The piping for radiators is also on the boat. The current owner will be fitting four new windows at the front of the boat and one at the side.
There is some welding needed along the waterline, and she is currently out of the water to enable any purchaser to do this work.
River Oak offers the potential to be a good sized, and very light, static houseboat, with an estimate of £15k- £20K to finish her. Her size means that ongoing costs such as mooring fees and heating will be very much affordable, but do not compromise the excellent living space available. |

Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Sundance, a unique conversion offering homely, family sized accommodation with low mooring costs.
Sundance surprises with the amount of space available given its relatively short length. Entering into the upper level you are immediately struck by the cosy yet airy feel. Entirely open plan, this level has been finished in pine to great effect. The well equipped kitchen area offers plenty of storage and work space, including a central island. There is a washing machine, free standing oven and a large fridge freezer. The lounge area has fitted beach style seating and strip plank flooring.

The lower level offers four cabins, all with built in beds, and with plenty of storage. There is a bathroom with bath and basin, and a separate toilet with another basin. There is a cloakroom, plus a small empty room next to the bathroom which could be utilised to increase the size of the bathroom. This lower level also has a wood theme finish, and offers character as well as space.
Sundance is steel framed and fully insulated. She was dry docked in 2013 and re plated where needed with 6mm steel plate, and also had anodes fitted. She was drydocked again in 2019, with any work needed being done, but the hull was found to be in superb condition. She has also had work done on the roof over this period.
Overall, Sundance offers well appointed and spacious accommodation, plenty of character, and low mooring costs, and is an ideal low cost family home. |

Eben Hauzer offers an amazing amount of space both internally and externally, and unusually is moored on its own pontoon within the marina enabling it to offer a prime mooring and peaceful and quiet family living.

This contains a double berth, lovely saloon with log burner, kitchenette and a separate toilet that could easily be turned into a wet room.

Entering by the wheelhouse there is a stairway that leads to a cloakroom area that also has a shower room with shower cubicle, hand basin and a new toilet. This area also houses the diesel boiler for the central heating. A further short stairway/ramp leads to the stunning living area.
This area is both extremely spacious and very well fitted out, with the characterful feel you would expect. This area flows beautifully, and manages to feel both open plan whilst also retaining the feel of where the lounge stops and the large kitchen diner starts. The lounge area houses a beautiful multi fuel burning stove that provides an excellent focal point whilst complimenting the full central heating running throughout the boat.
The kitchen/diner is another wonderful space, with plenty of work surface and storage, as well as fridge, freezer, dish washer, LPG oven and sink. The area also has plenty of space for a large dining table, and is a great family area.
Forward from the kitchen a corridor leads to three bedrooms to large doubles with a great amount of storage, and a third which currently has a hand built single bed but could also easily house a double bed. To the back of the boat is the family bathroom, with toilet, hand basin, stand alone bath and a massive walk in shower area. This area also houses the washing machine.
The main accommodation is well decorated throughout, with beautiful flooring and good headroom. All the natural light comes from the fitted skylights running the length of the boat, that give ample light as well as offering privacy at the same time. Externally, the usable deck space is an incredible place in which to fully appreciate and enjoy the calm and peaceful surroundings of river life. The Mercedes-Benz diesel engine provides plenty of power to cruise this exceptional cruising home, which also has a Lister 13 KVA generator for use when cruising.
This is a stunning example of a well maintained, well converted Dutch barge, and whether cruising or on a mooring, she offers a fantastic life changing opportunity. |

There is an amazing 10 feet of headroom throughout, with lots of floor to ceiling windows and large port holes giving plenty of light. There is a built-in wood burning stove with back boiler that powers the central heating, and an immersion tank to store hot water. The boat has its own waste system that turns sewage to clean and clear water. There are two large double bedrooms, and a family bathroom, as well as a utility / laundry room with washing machine. The massive 1000 square foot living area provides spacious accommodation and includes a fully fitted kitchen area with electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dish-washer and plenty of storage and work surface. This floating house is all electric, with solar panels on the roof, LED lighting throughout and heavy insulation, which means low electricity bills. A Sky satellite dish and fast BT broadband are already installed.
Structurally, there is the opportunity to add a second floor if desired.
THE MOORING : the very rare freehold mooring is 100 feet by 35 feet, enabling you to keep small boat in front of the main houseboat. There are no mooring fees. The strip of land alongside the mooring has two decking platforms, a patio area,a 300 square foot studio/workshop, a smaller office, wood store and shed. The studio and office are fully insulated, with electric points and wi-fi connection.
THE LAND : A full quarter of an acre of prime, mature Kent countryside, sheltered and fenced to allow privacy at all times. Mainly laid to lawn with borders, two ponds (one with colony of newts), with flower and raised vegetable beds all around. There are also several fruit bearing trees in this most serene of settings. In the corner of the property is a geodesic dome which functions as a greenhouse. The front of the property is bordered with one of the best rows of tamarisk trees in Britain. The trees flower pink on and off throughout the summer, depending on the volume of sunshine.
Located in the small village of Conyer, near Teynham, you are just a convenient 15 minute drive to either Faversham or Sittingbourne. Trains into London Victoria from Teynham station take around an hour and ten minutes. Free parking at the station.
All in all this is a dream opportunity to own a maintenance free home in it's own beautiful surroundings, in the middle of the Kent countryside but also a relatively short walk down the street and out on to a glorious nature sanctuary which leads on to spectacular views over the river Swale.
The village of Conyer has a vibrant local pub with Canasta, quiz nights and craft fairs. Just a mile away, Teynham has a Post Office, Londis, Co-op, Chinese restaurant, fish and chip shop. |
