About this property
Premier Houseboats are delighted to present an extraordinary steel-hulled lightship in superb structural condition, offering a truly unique opportunity to create a luxury floating home of remarkable scale and character.
Originally constructed in 1931, this iconic vessel offers vast internal and external space, spread across three full levels with excellent headroom throughout. The expansive deck areas provide outstanding outdoor living potential, ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying panoramic river views.
Lightships of this size and calibre are increasingly rare, and represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform a piece of maritime history into a bespoke family home or creative space.
The steelwork, both internally and externally, appears in excellent condition, reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship and durability typical of these purpose-built ships. With its immense internal volume and solid construction, this vessel offers limitless scope for imaginative conversion - from open-plan living and studio spaces to luxury suites and social decks.
Situated on a secure residential mooring in a popular riverside community, Sunk Centre enjoys the convenience of nearby amenities. Within walking distance are a general store, restaurant/diner, and bus terminus serving neighbouring areas.
This welcoming village offers schools for all ages, shops, restaurants, doctors, dentist, chemist, leisure centre, and swimming pool.
For commuters, the A2/M2 can be reached in under ten minutes, providing excellent road links to London and the coast. The nearest rail station, Strood, offers high-speed services to London with journey times of around 40 minutes. The surrounding River Medway area provides sailing facilities and beautiful countryside walks.
Is an exceptional opportunity to acquire an iconic and structurally sound lightship, ready for conversion into a unique and spacious floating residence. Its historic charm, solid build quality, and limitless creative potential make it a truly outstanding prospect - one that must be viewed in person to appreciate its full scale and possibilities.
The lightship is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
