About this property

    Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Beaver II, a Dutch-built tug on a secure residential mooring, offering an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke floating home full of character and charm.
    Currently without an engine and ready for refurbishment, Beaver II provides a solid base for either a full refit or a creative renovation that retains her original features.
    Beaver II offers surprisingly spacious accommodation for her size, with scope to design a layout that balances comfort and practicality.
    Space for two good-sized double cabins
    Room for a wet room, galley, and saloon
    Wheelhouse that could be used as a day lounge or office area
    Original fittings and details offering plenty of potential for a traditional or characterful interior design
    Some plumbing and wiring are already in place, but the boat would benefit from a complete rewire and replumb during refurbishment.
    Externally, there is a good amount of deck space available to enjoy outdoor living when weather permits.
    With her classic lines and solid steel construction, Beaver II presents a rare opportunity to create a distinctive home afloat - whether you prefer a fully modern finish or wish to retain and restore her original heritage charm.
    Beaver II is moored in a friendly working boatyard with an allocated parking space for one vehicle and additional on-street parking nearby.
    The location offers excellent convenience:
    Strood town centre provides a range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, takeaways, and a retail park
    Easy access to the A2/M2 for commuters heading to London or the Kent coast
    Strood train station is only a short walk away, offering high-speed services to London
    Bus routes serve the local area, providing further connectivity.
    Beaver II is a characterful Dutch-built tug offering the chance to create a unique, spacious, and affordable floating home on a residential mooring. Whether you wish to restore her heritage or design a contemporary home afloat, she provides an excellent foundation for a rewarding project.
    The tug is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold. Mooring fees: £273 pcm
