Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Wolfie, a charming and unusual narrowboat project currently on hard standing, offering an excellent opportunity to complete a comfortable and distinctive floating home.
Wolfie benefits from a recent full survey (August 2024) showing excellent hull thickness readings throughout. She has been a well-loved home for a number of years, now offered for sale due to her owners’ emigration plans.
One of Wolfie’s standout features is her collapsible wheelhouse, located about a third of the way down the boat. This versatile feature provides both a sheltered navigation area and the potential to create separate living and sleeping spaces — a rare feature for a vessel of this size.
The main cabin is bright and well insulated, featuring:
A fixed double bed
Morso solid fuel stove for cosy heating
Stand-alone gas oven and hob
Thetford fridge
Double-glazed windows throughout
A compartment ready for a toilet and shower installation, with the shower tray already onboard
The wheelhouse offers generous space for navigation or relaxing, and can be collapsed for bridge clearance.
The aft cabin can serve as a second sleeping area, lounge, or dining space, offering flexibility depending on your preferred layout.
Lister diesel engine (water-cooled) – starts reliably and runs smoothly
Hull blacked recently, with new anodes fitted
Excellent hull condition confirmed by recent survey
On hard standing for easy access during completion
The current mooring is non-residential, but residential options are available nearby in the Medway area if required. Alternatively, Wolfie could be completed and used as a continuous cruiser, ideal for those seeking an adventurous and flexible lifestyle on the water.
Her compact size and distinctive wheelhouse design make her particularly well suited for this purpose.
Wolfie is an affordable and characterful narrowboat project, offering great scope to finish to your own taste. With solid fundamentals, excellent recent survey results, and an unusual yet practical design, she represents a rare opportunity to create a compact but highly individual floating home.
