Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Fireflair, a beautifully decorated static houseboat, offering character, space and economical living. Fireflair was originally commissioned by the war office, and has also seen active service as a fire boat on the Thames before being tastefully converted to a houseboat.
The upstairs accommodation is split into two parts. The beautifully decorated lounge has space as well as a warm homely feel, with classic wooden panelled walls and a built in fireplace. The many windows allow plenty of light. Glass doors lead to a fitted kitchen/dining area, with plenty of work top and storage space. Again there are plenty of windows allowing lots of natural light and giving a light and airy feel. There is plenty of room for a dining table. A panelled stairway from this room leads to the downstairs accommodation.
A door leads through to a large double bedroom, again beautifully fitted out with wooden panelling. There are opening portholes on both sides, that not only provide light and airflow, but also act as an authentic reminder of the boats character and history. A door leads from this bedroom to another room that could be another bedroom, or an office/study it is currently used as. A door leads from this room to two large storage areas.
A second door from the stairway leads to the family bathroom, extremely well fitted out in a U shape with the bath placed in the centre. The bathroom also has a toilet and hand basin, and a doorway leads from the bathroom to a utility room, that could also easily be a third bedroom. The boat is fully centrally heated using kerosene, and is extremely well insulated throughout, making it very economical to heat.
The boat has comfortable deck space at both ends, and has been well maintained by the current owners, regularly dry docked to be painted and have anodes replaced when needed. This is a lovely example of a well maintained and comfortable family home, at a very competitive price.
