Description

MV Ro’An is a classic Dutch barge from the 1920s, tastefully upgraded by its current owners. Among the notable enhancements are a fully glazed timber wheelhouse and double glazing in the saloon, blending modern comfort with timeless charm. Both the interior and exterior have been meticulously maintained, giving the vessel a warm and inviting character. The boat is currently moored on a residential berth in South Dock Marina and if purchased on the berth the total would come to £176,400 which would include the residential licence transfer fee and VAT.

Inside, MV Roan features a spacious and thoughtfully finished interior, combining timber panelling, painted plywood, and spray foam insulation behind the hull for improved thermal comfort. Durable hardwood flooring runs throughout, adding to the barge's cozy and robust atmosphere.

The accommodation is cleverly arranged and includes a compact, well-appointed kitchen and a practical toilet/shower room clad in aluminium, with a stainless steel shower tray and sliding door. Midships, there's a guest or child’s bunk room, while the primary cabin is located in the bow, accessed via a corridor which has built-in hanging space and low-level storage integrated into the partitions and gunwales. This aft cabin is bright and snug, featuring portholes, roof lights, and convenient access on all sides of the double bed.

The engine bay is located beneath a large aluminium hatch. Mechanical systems are thoughtfully integrated, including a reliable Ford D-series diesel engine and a Kabola diesel boiler that provides hot water and central heating. Lighting is by both 12V DC and 240V AC electrical systems, and a setup powered by leisure and engine start batteries.

Included in the sale are the washing machine, integrated fridge with icebox, wall mounted cabinet in saloon, bed frame in primary cabin and new mattress and under bed storage boxes. All other items including but not limited to artwork and loose furniture, soft furnishings, decorative items, kitchenware etc are not included.
