About this Dutch Barge

English

This Dutch Cargo Barge provides phenomenal accommodation which is so flexible. There’s still more potential to enhance the large workshop area too. Also the owners were going to enhance the feel by finishing off making part of the roof slide open and close to effectively make a sunroof feature so bringing outdoors inside. The vessel engine would need a good service etc by a professional but the vessel did arrive under her own steam around 6 years ago. She does have quite a spread of commercial style navigation equipment. This vessel will be of interest to a family who appreciate a lot of living room, great views and a secure location. The Captains quarters are currently rented out to a lodger so this covers mooring fees. So if you are a cash buyer and want to bring about a lifestyle change then this beautiful Dutch Cargo Barge could tick all your boxes. Note that house style lenders will not give a mortgage for a barge. So cash buyers only.

The saloon, approx 30’ x20’, is zoned into 2 areas. Windows are deliberately set so you can enjoy the unobstructed views of the river whilst seated. There’s a Minstrels Galley/Walkway that overlooks the lower floor. It leads to what is currently used as a textiles and design room. Then, another Chill Zone approx 30’x20’ in total. The vessel still has the original roof opening panels so the intention was to create an indoor outdoor area for the chill zone. Further aft are stairs to ground floor. The Master Suite is also on the top floor, approx 31’x20’ and comprises sitting room area, dressing room area, en-suite and bedroom area - again benefitting from an incredible view from the bed.
