Exceptional House boat and location on the South coast, with a 98yr mooring lease. Don't think "Houseboat", think Bungalow on the beach! “Bryher II" is unique, and is sited in a SSSI area with RSPB land to the south and National trust land to the north. It is 100ft. in length by 23ft. wide, with added metre wide gangways down each side of the bungalow area, leading to steps giving access to the water. The bungalow area is 48ft. by 23ft. the rest comprising of a large forward sun deck and a smaller boarding deck on the stern. The barge is a heavily constructed ex naval steel barge with an excellent current Marine Survey. The bungalow is of Western Red Cedar construction; all walls are insulated inside and out, as is the floor and loft. It is double glazed throughout, and heated by natural gas central heating; all other services are supplied.

The Living accommodation consists of open plan living room, dining area and kitchen, all with wonderful and interesting sea views across the harbour to the Solent. It has a family size bathroom, which includes a large Jacuzzi bath, separate shower and bidet. It has two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, which accommodates adult bunk beds; all have built in wardrobes. Below deck is a utility room and office with separate walk-in store cupboard and cloakroom.

Beyond this is access too approx. 180sq.mtrs. of space, in three sections, and divided by steal bulkheads. The first area is at present used as a sewing area, the second for storage and the third area is a large workshop, 40ft.in length, at present equipped with woodworking machinery. This is NOT an unfinished project, just a great opportunity for a buyer to adapt the space for his/her own needs or aspirations. Portholes are fitted throughout the barge.

“Bryher II” is equipped with her own sewage plant, which is odourless. She is also equipped with 3 commercial style "spud legs" which eliminates the need for mooring lines or chains and offers complete confidence however hard the wind blows. Bryher has been lovingly built by a boat builder for himself, with great thought, care, and attention paid to the detail that makes the practicalities of living aboard, simple, safe and enjoyable, whilst retaining the boat builders eye for proportion and lines. We believe that every advantage of living in such a wonderful location on the water has been grasped.

There is a £100 per. yr. fixed ground rent. Bembridge Harbour is nestled between the pretty villages of St. Helens and Bembridge, which offer that elusive and charming “back in time" feel with lovely beaches, ideal for kite surfing, windsurfing and sailing. For walking, bird watching or painting, you couldn't be in a better place.
