Blue Max is a former yacht-turned-houseboat which has retained the original nautical features and instruments, benefits from views across Bembridge Harbour, and sits within walking distance to both Bembridge village and St Helens.
The accommodation is deceptively spacious, comprising a naturally bright and airy sitting room which is accessed from the main boat deck, four bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, a kitchen and a bathroom. There is also access to a storeroom via a hatch in the sitting room.
Externally, the houseboat has space on the outer deck for a table and chairs which is a wonderful area to sit and enjoy the view, as well as a gravelled and decking area on the foreshore for additional seating or storage. There is also a large insulated workshop space that has power, lighting and water supply which has the potential to be used as a separate home office or studio. Two parking spaces in the houseboat carpark are available, as well as a privately rented space just outside the houseboat.
