Pevencey Bay – Spacious Family Houseboat with Outdoor Space and Riverside Views
Premier Houseboats are delighted to present Pevencey Bay, a large converted lighter offering generous family accommodation and private outdoor space, set on a secure residential mooring just a 15-minute walk from Rochester High Street.
Thoughtfully converted by the current owners, this impressive houseboat combines open-plan living, excellent headroom, and the opportunity to complete remaining work to your own taste — making it an ideal home for those seeking both space and potential.
Accommodation
The upper level offers a beautiful open-plan family living space, filled with natural light from multiple windows. The large L-shaped kitchen provides plenty of storage and workspace, complemented by a spacious dining area and two generous lounge areas.
A large log burner forms the focal point of one lounge, adding warmth and charm while supplementing the full central heating. This level also includes a toilet and welcoming foyer at the entrance.
Double doors open onto a front deck area with stunning river views across to Rochester — perfect for relaxing or entertaining outdoors.
A staircase leads down to the lower accommodation, where you’ll find two large bedrooms, one with en suite and walk-in wardrobe, plus a family bathroom. There is also ample space to create up to two additional bedrooms, allowing for flexible family living. The lower level benefits from impressive headroom throughout.
Outside Space & Features
Pevencey Bay includes a private, fenced, and gated outdoor area alongside the mooring, offering a secure place to relax and enjoy the waterfront setting. There is also parking for two cars adjacent to this space.
The houseboat is fitted with solar panels on the roof to help reduce ongoing energy costs — a practical touch that complements its generous living space.
Location
The mooring sits within easy reach of local shops, supermarkets, pubs, cafés, and restaurants, with Strood town centre nearby for a wider range of shopping and leisure facilities, including a retail park and cinema.
Transport links are excellent, with quick access to the A2 and M2 motorways, frequent bus services to Rochester, Chatham, and Maidstone, and Strood railway station offering direct high-speed trains to London.
