Recently Sold - Thames Lighter Barge
Last week Boatshed Suffolk sold this Thames Lighter Barge which was built in 1900!
The barge has been converted to open plan style over two levels with additional decking area to the fore. A mecca for artists, wildlife enthusiasts or anybody who just wants to get away from it all. This houseboat is located in a designated 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty', with stunning river views. She is set amongst a row of houseboats on the tidal river Orwell in a hamlet 15 minutes from Ipswich and 1 hour to London by train.
There are no mooring fees for this houseboat and she has Local Authority planning permission.
She has a well appointed large open plan living with log burner, kitchen dining area and cloakroom on the top deck, with a separate sundeck and boat mooring to her stern.
Below, in the stylishly fitted lower deck, she has been converted to offer 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with one en-suite, as well as a utility room, workshop and office. She has oil fired central heating throughout. Water, electricity and telephone services are connected.
