About this property

    Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Trent 18, a beautifully fitted Humber Sloop offering an abundance of space, character, and classic craftsmanship, situated on a secure residential mooring in a quiet, family-run boatyard near Hoo St Werburgh.
    Combining traditional charm with modern comfort, Trent 18 provides generous, well-laid-out accommodation on a single level, making her an ideal family home or peaceful riverside retreat.

    Stepping aboard Trent 18, you’ll find a thoughtfully arranged interior featuring four separate cabins, offering six comfortable berths. The galley/saloon area is bright and sociable, with plenty of room for dining and relaxing.
    The interior is classically finished in warm wood panelling, creating a timeless and welcoming feel throughout. With excellent headroom and ample built-in storage, this home is both practical and full of character.
    A good-sized family bathroom completes the accommodation, making life aboard comfortable and convenient.

    Four cabins offering up to six berths
    Single-level layout for easy living
    Diesel-fired central heating throughout
    Wood-panelled interior with classic maritime charm
    Plenty of storage and impressive headroom
    Spacious deck areas for relaxing outdoors
    New hull bottom (2005) and complete refit at the same time
    New Dongfeng diesel engine (76hp) included (currently unfitted and on blocks)

    Trent 18 was constructed by Goole Shipyard in 1923 and fully refitted in 2012. She had a new steel bottom installed in 2005, offering peace of mind regarding her structural integrity.
    The vessel is being sold as a static home, but the brand-new Dongfeng engine could be professionally fitted should the new owner wish to make her a cruising vessel in future.

    The boat is moored on a secure residential berth within a small, family-run boatyard, just a 10-minute walk from the village of Hoo St Werburgh.
    Within walking distance you’ll find a general store, restaurant/diner, and a bus terminus providing connections to neighbouring areas.
    This popular riverside village offers everything needed for family life - schools for all ages, doctors, dentist, chemist, restaurants and takeaways, local shops, and a swimming pool and leisure centre.
    For commuters:
    A2/M2 access puts London or the coast within 10 minutes’ drive.
    Strood railway station offers high-speed services to London in around 40 minutes.
    The River Medway provides sailing opportunities and scenic countryside walks nearby.

    Trent 18 is a charming and spacious Humber Sloop offering affordable waterside living with classic style and practicality. With generous accommodation, a peaceful location, and the potential for further development, she represents exceptional value and a unique lifestyle opportunity on the River Medway.

    The houseboat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
