Stunning House Boat in Tranquil Riverside Setting

Relax and unwind at this unforgettable riverside escape. Our beautifully presented wide beam dutch barge offers spacious accommodation with two double en-suite bedrooms, fully fitted kitchen and outside sun deck. Located a short walk from the charming riverside town of Upton-upon-Severn and a short drive to picturesque Malvern and the Malvern Hills. Lovely riverside walks to nearby village pubs. Lots to do on the river including canoeing, paddle boarding and fishing off the private mooring. The space The house boat is on a private mooring on the banks of the river Severn. Access is via a boardwalk and gangway which leads to the mooring. There is parking for up to two vehicles in a private carpark. The accommodation is split over two levels. You enter the boat into the wheelhouse which has bench seating and a dining table for four people. The wheelhouse is fully glazed and offers a great space for dining with lovely river views. Leading down steps is the open plan sitting room and kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas cooking facilities, fridge, Nespresso coffee machine and dishwasher. The sitting area has a comfortable sofa and smart TV. This room has a log burner for colder evenings. The bedrooms are either end of the boat, both have compact en-suite shower rooms. The front bedroom has a king size bed, the rear bedroom a double bed, both with good quality mattresses and bed linens. There is clothes storage in both bedrooms. At the back of the boat is a covered deck area with sofa style seating. The steps are narrow leading up to the deck area and people with mobility issues may struggle to access. There are chairs on the pontoon which is a lovely place to sit on sunny days watching the river go by and the local wildlife. Guest access You have full use of the boats accommodation and the mooring is private. Obviously the river can flood particularly from December - March. The mooring and gangway rises and lowers with the flood water and the boardwalk is raised above the ground so access to the boat is unaffected by most floods. Please note in the unlikely event the boat does become inaccessible due to a really bad flood, as much notice as possible will be given and a full refund issued. Please be aware of the restricted headroom on the boat. The ceiling height in the sitting room/kitchen area and both bedrooms is approx. 6'3". Access to the rear deck has narrow steps and people with mobility issues may find the access difficult. Other things to note Families are welcome however we recommend small children wear life jackets (provided) when outside of the boat either on the mooring or the deck. There are two paddles boards available for guest use. Fishing is very popular in the area and guests are welcome to fish off the mooring with your own equipment and with the appropriate fishing licence. The area was featured on the TV program 'Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing', season 4, episode 6. We are dog friendly and happy to take up to two dogs. Restricted head room - The ceiling height of the main section of the boat and bedrooms is approximately 6'3" so very tall people may find this challenging! Information about the services on the boat: Electricity - the boat is hooked up to an electrical supply. There are plug sockets for small appliances. Water - the boat has a 1000 litre fresh water tank for showers, sinks and toilets, which will be filled for your stay. This is ample water for a week long stay. Bottled water should be used for drinking. Toilets - the boat is fitted with two flushing toilets. The toilets are fitted with macerators so waste matter and toilet paper only. Waste water - the boat has a large waste water holding tank which gets emptied at a pump out station in the local marina every month. This is clearly our job not yours! Cooking - there is a well fitted kitchen with LPG gas hob and oven. There will always be ample gas for your stay.
