Residential Cruising Barge - Verandering

Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Verandering, a beautiful classic Luxemotor Dutch barge offering generous living space, excellent craftsmanship, and the unmistakable charm of traditional Dutch design. Combining comfortable residential living with the potential to cruise, Verandering provides the perfect blend of character, functionality, and opportunity. The accommodation comprises: Master Bedroom: Features a built-in king-size bed and extensive storage throughout. Second Bedroom: A smaller double cabin, ideal for guests or family. Shower Room: Fitted with twin sinks, a large shower, and a vacuum toilet for added efficiency. The main living area is truly impressive - bright, spacious, and designed for comfort. It features a bespoke built-in sofa that converts into a high-quality bed, plus a projector, screen, digital TV, PVR, and surround sound system - perfect for cosy evenings or entertaining. The John Lewis fitted kitchen offers a superb amount of workspace and storage, and comes equipped with a fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. There is currently an electric oven and hob, which needs to be replaced with an LPG oven and hob. Throughout the boat, there is a remarkable amount of built-in storage, as well as oil-fired central heating for year-round comfort. The boiler room also includes space and plumbing for a washing machine. Built in 1924, Verandering retains her original Brons diesel engine (32hp), known for its reliability and historic appeal. In 2006, she underwent a professional blast and epoxy treatment, leaving her with minimal rust below the waterline. The last survey (2012) is available for inspection. While the interior would benefit from some aesthetic updating, the vessel remains structurally sound, offering a solid foundation for a comfortable and characterful home afloat. With her classic lines and traditional Dutch styling, Verandering presents beautifully both inside and out. She combines the look and feel of a heritage barge with the spaciousness of a modern home, and retains the ability to cruise when required - a rare advantage for a vessel of her size. Situated in a popular riverside village with a secure residential mooring, the location offers both peace and convenience. Within walking distance you’ll find a general store, restaurant ∕ diner, and bus terminus with routes to neighbouring areas. The village provides: Schools for all ages Doctors, dentist, chemist, and local shops Restaurants and takeaways Swimming pool and leisure centre For commuters, the A2 ∕ M2 is reachable in under 10 minutes, offering easy access to London or the Kent coast. Strood Station also provides high-speed rail services to London in around 40 minutes. The area enjoys access to the River Medway, with sailing facilities and scenic countryside walks nearby. Verandering is a well-loved and beautifully proportioned Dutch barge, combining historic charm with modern comfort and offering generous accommodation throughout. With only light updating needed, she represents an excellent opportunity to own a spacious, liveaboard barge with cruising capability and authentic maritime heritage.
