Description

This is a really spacious Barge Conversion. She is currently on a residential mooring which the owner rents for £640 per Month. There's a good community spirit too and the vessel has a nice location on the marina with good views to Bow. The accommodation is well planned and you have access to the side decks and terraces from the bedrooms so you can enjoy sitting outside for a drink etc. The foredeck is a sun trap and is big enough to have a gathering and a barbecue.
