About this property
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present River Oak, a spacious one-bedroom houseboat currently undergoing refurbishment, now available due to a change in the owner’s circumstances.
Originally purchased as a disused and dated vessel, River Oak has been completely gutted, reinsulated, rewired, and part-plumbed, providing an excellent foundation for completion into a comfortable and stylish home afloat.
The layout has been carefully planned to maximise light and living space, with internal partitions already in place to create:
A large double bedroom
An open-plan kitchen and lounge
A shower room
These partitions are ready to be boarded out, allowing a new owner to finish the project to their own taste and style.
Full insulation throughout
Complete rewire (240V and 12V systems)
Partial plumbing installed
New gas combi boiler already fitted
Shower, hand basin, toilet, and macerator unit boxed and ready to install
Radiator pipework already on board
Four new front windows and one side window due to be fitted by the current owner
Some welding required along the waterline (vessel currently out of the water to facilitate this)
Interior boarding, plumbing, and finishes needed to complete the fit-out
Once finished, River Oak will make a bright and spacious home, with estimated completion costs between £15,000 and £20,000, depending on materials and finish.
Her size ensures affordable ongoing running costs-including mooring fees and heating-without compromising on generous living space.
Situated on a secure residential mooring in a popular village location, River Oak offers the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience.
Within walking distance you’ll find:
A general store, restaurant/diner, and local shops
Bus terminus with routes to neighbouring areas
Schools for all ages, doctors, dentist, chemist, and leisure centre
For commuters, the A2/M2 is less than ten minutes away, offering easy access to London or the Kent coast. Strood station provides a high-speed rail link to London in around 40 minutes. The area also offers riverside walks, open countryside, and sailing facilities along the River Medway.
River Oak offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-sized houseboat at a sensible price, with much of the essential groundwork already completed. Once finished, she will provide a comfortable, light-filled home on a secure and peaceful residential mooring, perfect for full-time living or a creative renovation project.
The houseboat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold
