About this property
Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Glen Markie, a beautifully converted static motor cruiser offering modern, comfortable living on the water. Extensively rebuilt and thoughtfully fitted out, she provides a stylish and affordable home afloat with a contemporary finish throughout.
Originally purchased as a shell in 2021, Glen Markie has undergone a complete transformation under her current owner. The previous owner, a professional welder, fully replaced the original hull, and a survey from that time is available. Since then, the boat has been extensively refitted to a high standard, with only minor finishing touches remaining.
Accommodation is arranged to maximise comfort and light:
Double cabin with fitted bed and wardrobe
Modern galley with washing machine, fridge/freezer, gas oven and hob, sink, and generous storage and workspace
Open-plan saloon featuring a charming log-burning stove that heats the entire boat, plus the furniture pictured
New boiler installed and connected to two new radiators (in the bedroom and saloon) - final plumbing work required before use
The boat has been completely rewired, fully insulated, and finished with new panelling throughout, creating a bright, welcoming interior with a clean, modern aesthetic.
Externally, Glen Markie has been freshly painted, fitted with new anodes, and finished with astro turf decking and outdoor furniture, providing a pleasant area to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
She benefits from secure residential moorings, with fees of £1.75 per foot per week (minimum 40ft), payable every four weeks. Mooring fees include unlimited mains water (£5.50 per week) and metered 16-amp mains electricity.
The marina itself is safe, friendly, and well-established, home to around 400 permanent residents, making it an ideal long-term mooring for full-time living.
Conveniently located within walking distance of local amenities including a general store, restaurant/diner, and bus terminus with services to nearby towns.
The surrounding village offers schools for all ages, shops, takeaways, medical facilities, a swimming pool, and a leisure centre. For commuters, the A2/M2 provides easy access to London or the coast within ten minutes, while Strood Station offers a high-speed train service to London in around 40 minutes.
Situated near the River Medway, the area also boasts excellent sailing facilities and scenic countryside walks.
Glen Markie represents an excellent opportunity to live afloat in comfort and style. With her strong steel hull, high-quality interior refit, and secure mooring, she’s an affordable, low-maintenance floating home ready for her next owner to enjoy.
The houseboat is freehold and the residential mooring is leasehold.
